Design and Development of a Clinical Informatics Fellowship Scheduling Dashboard Using Agile Methodologies
Fellowship training in clinical informatics present unique challenges for leaders, instructors, and trainees as graduation requirements, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) expectations, and graduate medical education (GME) budgetary requirements can be complex. We sought to create a tool to meet the needs of fellows and fellowship leaders using Agile methodologies, and successfully created a dashboard that satisfies scheduling and program monitoring requirements for multiple stakeholders.
Learning Objectives
- Design and implement a scheduling dashboard that meets the individualized needs of Clinical Informatics fellows and program leadership.

Onboarding Physician Builders and SmartUsers - What worked, What didn't, and What's next
In 2024, NYU Langone Health completed Version 7 of the Epic Honor Roll program. A key component involved recruiting active providers to complete Epic-led courses to become Physician Builders. NYULH developed a comprehensive recruitment strategy, including targeted outreach, presentations, and an incentive program. This session will explore the challenges of engaging providers, the effectiveness of different incentive models, and the long-term strategy for growing the certified Physician Builder cohort to drive continued EHR improvements.
Learning Objectives
- Propose an adaptable framework for recruiting clinicians into Epic Builder and SmartUser roles.

Results of a national survey of the clinical informatics fellowship class of 2024 on their fellowship experiences and early careers
The first clinical informatics (CI) fellows graduated in 2016. There is limited information about the careers of CI fellowship alumni. We first conducted an IRB approved survey emailed to all CI fellows graduating in 2022. This year, we surveyed CI fellows graduating in summer/fall 2024 about their background, fellowship experiences, job search, and first position after fellowship. More than half (43/80) consented to participate and met inclusion criteria (graduation date).
Learning Objectives
- Describe strategies for evaluating clinical informatics fellowship opportunities, identify approaches for enhancing fellowship curricula to support diversity and career development, and assess the qualifications of fellowship graduates for employment in clinical informatics roles."
