Technology in the medical field has been evolving and will continue to evolve year after year. While you may be academically gifted, your interviewers need to know that you can pick up and master any new technologies in pediatric intensive care during your time with them. During your PICU Fellowship training, you will likely work with many pieces of equipment you haven't had the opportunity to in the past.

Think of a time you had to learn new technology and choose an example that proves your ability to study, learn, and master its use in short order. Then, discuss with your interviewing team the fact that you know you will be learning a new EMR and other medical equipment during your fellowship training and are willing and ready to be a great learner of any new technologies thrown your way during your time with them.

"First and foremost, I want you to know that I understand that today's pediatric critical care staff need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. I've always been enamored by the great technological advancements in healthcare. More recently during the pandemic, one area that physicians need to embrace is telehealth, and I was fortunate to be exposed to this during almost all of my rotations. Learning technologies like Zoom and other video conferencing apps was a new concept to me. Before beginning their use, I watched training videos and practiced having virtual consults with my classmates to ensure that there wouldn't be any technical glitches when I worked with patients. I am fully confident in my ability to use video for telehealth consults with patients."
