Because technology in healthcare is constantly improving and changing over time, interviewers are looking for supervisor candidates who can acknowledge their shortcomings and demonstrate a willingness to stay current with new technologies. Talk about a time where you had to go the extra mile to be the subject matter expert on a new piece of equipment you and your staff would be using moving forward.

"I once had to train my nursing staff on using an electronic healthcare system (EHR) that I wasn't familiar with. So I reached out to my supervisor to ask for their input. We were able to partner with both HR and IT to create a training plan for me. They also gave me a supervisor's guide so that I could train my team properly."
When I worked in a community health center a pulmonary function testing machine was ordered but no training set up on how to use it properly. I contacted the company and found that they offered free training with the purchase of the machine. I was able to schedule in person training for staff so that they could properly use the machine.
