During your two years of training in vascular surgery fellowship, you will learn new technologies and equipment to perform testing procedures like angiograms and duplex ultrasounds. The program you are interviewing with needs to be assured that you are confident in your ability to learn new technologies quickly and proficiently.

To best answer a question like this on your ability to learn and adapt to new equipment and technology, it is best to point out how you learned the same during your general surgery residency training. As you list the things you learned during your residency, be sure to speak to how you best train and master things to give your interviewers an idea of how they can best work with you if you match into their program.

"Yes, I'm very comfortable learning new machines and technology as a surgeon and look forward to mastering things like MRAs and ABIs as a fellow here. During my general surgery residency training, I best learned new things with a hands-on approach while having a faculty member train me. I'm a quick learner and confident in my tech skills."
