Clinical Informatics Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital

RESIDENCIES & FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Clinical informatics enhances every aspect of health care delivery. It improves patient care quality and safety, reduces costs, and decreases provider burnout. Informatics facilitates evidence-based decision-making, promotes patient engagement, and enables predictive analytics for optimal resource allocation across complex health care systems.

The Clinical Informatics Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital prepares physicians to lead health care innovations through the continuous improvement of technology. Offering deep integration between informatics and clinical operations, our program, accredited by the ACGME, provides fellows with real-world experience in one of the nation's premier health systems. At every step of the two-year fellowship, we combine practical applications in a personalized learning environment.

Our fellowship offers a comprehensive, two-year program that balances structured learning with exploration tailored to each fellow's career interests and goals. Fellows spend 20 percent of their time in clinical practice as attending physicians, with the remainder dedicated to informatics rotations and scholarly activities.

Known for its hands-on opportunities and close collaboration with Digital Technology Partners, the Clinical Informatics Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital includes the chance for our fellows to design custom electives in their second year. We additionally take pride in integrating fellow feedback into the program experience, ensuring our curriculum evolves alongside our rapidly changing field, as well as the educational needs of our participants.

Benefits of the program include four weeks of vacation per year, at least one wellness day per quarter, and assistance in identifying housing opportunities in New York City.

Our fellows are expected to complete core rotations across diverse informatics care settings, including inpatient, ambulatory, and emergency departments. These experiences are complemented by rotations in AI, clinical decision support, digital medicine, leadership, project management, patient safety, reporting and analytics, and usability. Primarily based at The Mount Sinai Hospital, all rotations include supervision from experienced faculty. Fellows also gain exposure to various Health System locations across Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.

The curriculum’s clinical foundation is strengthened by our partnership with Oregon Health & Science University's online graduate certificate program, where fellows earn 24 credits in courses such as Biomedical Informatics, Clinical Information Systems, and Organizational Behavior and Management.

Throughout the two-year program, fellows apply their knowledge to real-world projects that address health care challenges while building the technical, analytical, and leadership skills essential for rewarding careers in clinical informatics. Additional opportunities to learn occur during our weekly journal clubs and seminar series, as well as through mentored research projects. Fellows also receive funding for Epic training and conference attendance, including the American Medical Informatics Association’s annual symposium.

The Clinical Informatics Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital seeks operationally oriented candidates who demonstrate genuine interest in clinical informatics—programming, database, and AI expertise is not required. Candidates must be board eligible or certified in a specialty.

An ACGME-accredited residency program in any clinical specialty must be completed prior to the beginning of the program. Applications are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), using program number 1393514001. Further details on the match are provided by the American Medical Informatics Association. Our application process adheres to the following timeline:

  • July 15: ERAS application portal opens
  • Early October: Interview decisions communicated to all applicants
  • Late October through late November: Interviews conducted
  • The match generally occurs during the third week in December
