Building for the future: the creation of a residency training track to foster innovation through clinical informatics in psychiatry

Abstract: Early clinical informatics (CI) education provides an introduction to CI methodologies for resident physicians to apply within their boarded specialties. A specialty notably absent from the effort to train residents in CI is psychiatry. We present a novel means of integrating CI exposure into a structured educational track within a psychiatry residency training program. The clinical informatics track at the University of North Carolina Department of Psychiatry is a 3-year, longitudinal experience open to resid… Show more

“…Most child psychiatry trainees are exposed to EHRs in daily practice and, increasingly, other [35] b Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) c Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), i.e., federal standard geographic codes digital health technologies (e.g., mobile apps, patient portals) that inform and shape clinical training. Several psychiatry residencies have recently developed elective specialized "tracks" in clinical informatics, including the University of North Carolina and the University of California, Los Angeles [39]. These were developed, in part, to meet the rising interest of trainees.…”

“…1 However, health informatics is a required skill for all 21st century clinicians, 2 and thus there is a need for informatics experiences for all postgraduate trainees. 3 Previously described educational initiatives have focused on brief trainings on informatics, [4][5][6][7] but few institutions have engaged housestaff in hands-on experiential informatics training or formalized educational programs. [7][8][9][10] Early career exposure to informatics can support professional development in the field, addressing unmet need for these skilled physicians in the health care workforce.…”

“…Although multiple models may be successful in engaging housestaff in hospital informatics, 4,[7][8][9][10] we report here on a novel housestaff-organized and -led information technology (IT) council format that has fostered opportunities for housestaff to collaborate in operational roles and to learn CI through hands-on real-world experiences.…”
