Penn Medicine CMIO Predoctoral Applied Health Informatics Fellowship

The Penn Medicine Office of the Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO)’s Predoctoral Applied Health Informatics Fellowship is a 12-month program offering medical students the opportunity to gain exposure to clinical informatics – the science of how we collect, analyze, and use health information to improve health and health care delivery – through tools like the EHR, telehealth, mobile health, and beyond. Fellows are embedded into health system-level operational teams and conduct operational and research projects with multitiered mentorship from faculty. Through their in-depth involvement, fellows receive a deeper understanding of the operational challenges involved in pushing a complex, multi-institutional suite of clinical information systems towards the forefront of technology. Past fellows have contributed to initiatives ranging from operationalizing an EHR-connected data review and handoff tool to refining telehealth operations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. One medical student is accepted per year and start date is flexible, but most fellowships last from July to July. To learn more or apply, email Dr. Bill Hanson, CMIO.
