Research

Fellowship faculty are involved in research in various facets of clinical informatics. Fellows will be involved in both operational and research projects throughout the entire fellowship. This will include short-term projects that can be completed with the clinical rotation periods as well as long-term projects that may span several clinical rotations. There will be dedicated block time to focus on theses projects.

Independent Clinical Practice

Fellows will have the opportunity to continue practice in their primary specialty for up to 20% of the fellowship time. Keeping up with changes in clinical workflows and experiencing electronic health record (EHR) issues firsthand is extremely valuable towards the goal of improving the EHR for both clinicians and patients.
