Our CI fellows are embedded within our internationally renowned UNC Health Information Services Division (UNC ISD) where they will gain rich operational, strategic, quality improvement, research, and informatics experiences across multiple settings.
UNC ISD was one of the first organizations in the world to achieve HIMSS Level 7 for the Adoption Model for Analytics Maturity and HIMSS Level 7 outpatient and inpatient designations. UNC Health was one of 12 national beta launch partners for Apple’s Health Records. We are the first health system to natively embed a virtual visit platform for telemedicine into Epic, and one of the first customers to launch the Epic Virtual Care Companion application for care coordination and patient engagement. Additionally, our partners in strategy, change management, leadership, quality improvement, advanced analytics, innovation, and research across our enterprise and the UNC School of Medicine provide rich learning opportunities and experiences for our fellows.
We look forward to you exploring our website and video content we’ve created for you to learn more about UNC, UNC Health, the program, and the people who make our program great!
Message from the Director
Thank you for your interest in the Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Welcome to our website, where I hope you will find all the information you are looking for. If you have questions, please reach out.
As program director, I can’t speak highly enough of the people who make this program what it is. We are privileged to work with amazing Clinical Informatics fellows, core and affiliated faculty, program staff, information services leaders and analysts, and multiple UNC-Chapel Hill academic partners. If you are excited to learn among colleagues who are dedicated to improving healthcare delivery and research, the UNC Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program would be an excellent fit for you!
Our program is housed in the Department of Family Medicine but works with clinicians from all backgrounds and specialties. We are truly multidisciplinary in our approach to teaching and learning, and we partner not only with physicians but also with nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals. Our goal is to expose our fellows to a broad array of topics in clinical informatics in both classroom and real-world environments, allowing them the flexibility to then dive deeper into those areas that align with their own interests. In practical terms, our fellows learn in an immersive environment with projects in flight in which they may have a small role or that they can lead.
If you are looking to advance to the next level in real-world clinical informatics training and application, please explore our website and reach out to me or our program coordinator with any questions.
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the very best as you embark on the next phase in your clinical informatics journey!
