Electronic Medical Records: Importance for ERAS application and interviews

Class Objectives:

​Electronic medical records (EMRs) contain the entire medical and treatment history of a patient. EMR improves the quality of care, patient outcomes, and safety. The rapidly growing medical knowledge base mandates that medicine utilize information systems that bring the latest evidence-based knowledge to the physician at the point of care and manage the patient's information to improve care.
Most students are exposed to EMR as part of their electives or hands-on rotations when they do the US Clinical Experience or USCE. However, often they fail to grasp the importance of the EMR and cannot articulate their EMR related experience in the ERAS application and in the interviews.
In this class, we give you a crash course on the different types of EMR and teach how to highlight your skill in using an EMR to your advantage.
