Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center Education Strategy: To Infinity and Beyond!
Plain-language summary
This paper describes how the Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center (VCLIC), based in the Department of Biomedical Informatics, educates and trains faculty, staff, students, and trainees in clinical informatics across the university and health system. Its approach combines formal programs, such as a clinical informatics graduate course, a master's in applied clinical informatics, a medical student course, a graduate medical education elective, and a clinical informatics fellowship, with informal offerings like workshops, seminars, conference-style events, short instructive videos, and hackathons. The described programs have trained hundreds of participants, and VCLIC-held events drew high satisfaction ratings, with an average score of 4.63 out of 5 and every event averaging above 4.
