Working on an electronic medical record program is an essential part of any residency training program, including a psychiatry residency. Your interviewers are aware of the fact that every new resident that matches with their program will need to be trained on their customized system. They are just looking to hear what programs you are familiar with and that you are comfortable in your ability to learn and master their program quickly.

"I was fortunate enough to get to work firsthand in a few different systems during med school and they included Cerner, Meditech, and EPIC. I'm happy that I got to learn the ins and outs of a few different programs when it comes to patient charting, looking up previous notes, and submitting orders because I feel very well prepared to enter residency and master your program quickly. If I understand correctly, your program and affiliated hospital use EPIC, and I'm confident that I would be able to function at a high level quickly if I were to match here."

Talk about the experiences that gained working on different programs during medical school and be sure to point out your comfortability working on any program that you train on. As well, discussing the importance of utilizing the system during your psychiatry residency training will go a long way with the interviewer.
