Hi! I just wanted to chime in since I recently got hired on to the Epic Willow team at my hospital and have to say it is the best decision I have ever made.
Glad to hear there is a lot of interest out there. For myself, I've merged my two interests in information systems and pharmacy and for the first time in my life, I actually love my job!
I did a PGY1 only in acute care. Worked a few years as a clinical pharmacist...then happened that my hospital had a need for more Willow staff. I expressed interest, interviewed, and got the position.
My clinical background and understanding of my current hospital's workflow is very helpful for my job. I think one of the easiest ways to learn these hospital EMR systems is to just use them as an end user. Learn your system well and tell your manager you're interested in getting involved. I also believe you really need to have an interest (and somewhat basic understanding) in information systems...otherwise, the work can be very tedious at times.
Meditech is easy and anyone can do it.
Cerner...only worked with it as an end user so don't know.
Epic won't let anyone mess with the system unless you get certified through them.
Good luck to those interested!
