Tell us about a time you had to work with new technology during medical school training. What did you do to ensure proficiency as quickly as possible?

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, tell your interviewing team that you know you will be learning a new EMR and other medical equipment during your residency 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 urologists need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. I've always been enamored by great technological advancements in medicine. During my medical school rotations in surgery, I got great exposure to robotic surgery techniques and caught on quickly. I learn best by watching first and then working hands-on with a mentor. As a resident of your program, I'm very excited to learn cryosurgery, robotic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery technologies, and I don't feel intimidated at all by this prospect."
