Clinical Informatics Fellowship
Overview
The Clinical Informatics Fellowship at Stanford is an interdisciplinary program with participation of faculty from the Departments of Pediatrics, Pathology, Medicine, and others. The fellowship combines hands-on experience in applied informatics at a large academic institution with formal didactics. Each year, the class of fellows is expected to include trainees from a variety of clinical specialties.
We accept both individuals interested in an academic career and those intending to pursue careers in community practice. All fellows are encouraged to participate in resident teaching and research activities.
- 2 years to complete program
- 1 position offered annually by the Department of Pathology
- Board certification: American Board of Pathology/Clinical Informatics
- ACGME Accredited: Yes
The Department of Pathology only sponsors residents who have trained in AP, CP, or combined AP/CP at Stanford. Exceptions can be made for trainees who have had extensive experience within the department, such as multiple fellowships or research activities.
Fellowship Rotations
Fellows rotate through the clinical informatics departments and participate in projects at Stanford Children’s Health, Stanford Health Care, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and Healthcare Research at Hewlett Packard Labs.
