"First and foremost, I want you to know that I understand that today's physicians need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. During medical school, I was fortunate to work within EPIC, Cerner, Nextech, and a couple of customized systems. I was able to learn quickly and run with any program I was introduced to. I've heard that you use EPIC system-wide; is that correct?"

During my training, I have worked with Cerner, Nextgen and eClinicalWorks. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. These various EMRs have taught me to catch on quickly and adapt to different ways of organizing medical information.

"During medical school, I gained experience working with Epic and PowerChart."

"I have experience working with Epic, PowerChart, as well as the electronic medical record used in the veteran hospital system."

"As a medical student, I worked with a few different EMRs including Epic and Cerner. I am a quick learner, and can readily adapt to different systems, and am confident I would quickly be familiar with the EMR that is used at your hospital system."

"During medical school I rotated at different sites using Cerner, Vista (at the VA), and several hospitals on different Epic systems. Although each was different and imperfect in their own ways, I eventually became comfortable with using them on my clinical rotations."
