Interesting perspective by UW student Nadia Siddiqui (and many CI leaders and alums including @techmd4thekids.bsky.social
and Ellen Kim) on the ubiquity of AI having reached the clinical setting. Several recommendations on what we should be teaching our clinicians.

If you have ever wondered what Clinical Informatics is, this equation sums it perfectly!
Applications for the fellowship program are now open!

Really appreciate Jonathan’s posts and wanted to add that UCSF is so incredibly proud of its CI fellows clinicalinformaticsfellowship.ucsf.edu! I wanted to add a few thoughts, too.

As we all know from our clinical work, the computer can both be a huge asset and a liability--the job of the informaticist is to maximize the former and minimize the latter. (original publication: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19074294/ )

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.

Several CI alums have become ACMIOs or CMIOs in their own right--you won't regret giving these incredibly talented trainees an opportunity to help you transform your clinical environment. cc @techmd4thekids.bsky.social @vlily.bsky.social

ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · May 22

And finally--if you're a CMIO/CIO hoping to implement a new EHR module, 3rd party tool, AI scribe, inbasket burden solution, etc--HIRE OUR FELLOWS. The 3200 hours of CI training they get prepares them well to be your boots on the ground, and leaders in their own right.

If you're a current fellow, make sure you update acifellows.org with your best work, and that you learn to showcase your projects. Get ideas for what others are doing and what you might try yourself. And collaborate!

If you are a resident looking to improve the EHR--or build a new one!--consider a CI fellowship! No better way to learn how to optimize and innovate using the full suite of informatics tools, and we'd love to train you. Apply through ERAS in July.

Had to leave #CIC25 early. But very impressed by the great work CI fellows are doing, across the country. From LLM based research, to persona creation, to more traditional clinical research, to EHR operations... they are truly the future of #whatisclinicalinformatics
