Few opportunities exist for physician trainees to gain exposure to, and training in, the field of clinical informatics, an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited, recently board-certified specialty. Currently, 21 approved programs exist nationwide for the formal training of fellows interested in pursuing careers in this discipline. Residents and fellows training in medical and surgical fields, however, have few avenues available to gain experience in clinical informatics. An early introduction to clinical informatics brings an opportunity to generate interest for future career trajectories. At University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Health, we have developed a novel, successful, and sustainable program, the Resident Informaticist Program, with the goals of exposing physician trainees to the field of clinical informatics and its academic nature and providing opportunities to expand the clinical informatics workforce. Herein, we provide an overview of the development, implementation, and current state of the UCLA Health Resident Informaticist Program, with a blueprint for development of similar programs.
对于医师培训生而言，接触临床信息学领域并接受该领域培训的机会很少，临床信息学是毕业后医学教育认证委员会认可的、最近刚获得委员会认证的专业。目前，全国有21个获批项目，用于对有志于从事该学科职业的研究员进行正规培训。然而，在内科和外科领域接受培训的住院医师和研究员，几乎没有途径获得临床信息学方面的经验。尽早引入临床信息学为激发对未来职业轨迹的兴趣带来了机会。在加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）健康中心，我们开发了一个新颖、成功且可持续的项目——住院医师信息专家项目，目标是让医师培训生接触临床信息学领域及其学术性质，并提供机会扩大临床信息学劳动力队伍。在此，我们概述了UCLA健康中心住院医师信息专家项目的发展、实施和现状，并提供了类似项目的发展蓝图。
