Health Informatics Fellowship Opportunity/Ambassador

Cleveland Clinic London is pioneering a parallel clinical fellowship model with a unique focus on hospital activation work, EPIC electronic medical record software, and healthcare informatics. With the vision of becoming the most technologically advanced hospital in the United Kingdom, we have reserved a limited number of positions for fellows who have a keen interest in learning how to optimise and leverage technology specifically related to the EPIC electronic medical system and integrated clinical applications. The fellow would be brought onboard in July 2021 prior to the January 2022 opening to obtain a deep understanding of our electronic medical record system and informatics strategies. From there, the fellows would develop expertise in both technology and simulation and ultimately act as ambassadors to facilitate the integration of health informatics systems within the organisation from the day of opening and onwards.
