What EMR programs did you work with as a medical student?
Technology in the medical field has been evolving and will continue to evolve year after year. As you enter Radiation Oncology residency training, you must be prepared to work under one common EMR at the institution you join. Your interviewers want to hear about the experience you gained working in a variety of them during your medical school.
Briefly discuss the programs you worked in as a rotating medical student and your role in the systems. As you answer, describe your ability to learn and master their program. Don't hesitate to ask questions about the program this institution uses to further express your interest in matching there.
"I understand that today's physicians must embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. During medical school, I was fortunate to work within EPIC, Cerner, the VA system, and a couple of customized systems. I learned quickly and ran with any program I was introduced to. I've heard that you use EPIC system-wide. Is that correct? If so, I'd feel very comfortable hitting the ground running within the system on day one as a resident."
