Overview
The Informatics, Decision-Enhancement and Analytic Sciences (IDEAS) Center at the Salt Lake Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center is recruiting candidates for its Advanced Fellowship in Medical Informatics. The interprofessional post-graduate 2-year program under the VA Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA) is paid (with benefits) and full-time.
Program Description
The mission of Advanced Fellowship in Medical Informatics is to develop experts in healthcare informatics use, dissemination, education, and research. As there is no formal local curriculum for the fellowship, the schedule and learning environment is tailored for each fellow. In general, fellows participate in research conferences and work on short-term and long-term informatics projects under the guidance of a mentor. An individualized development plan (IDP) is used to assess current skills and strengths, career goals, research and career skill training goals, and research productivity goals. As the Salt Lake City VA is home to the four other OAA fellowships, there will be opportunities for cross-program activities and networking.
