Medical Student Education
One of the unique features of our new medical school curriculum is a significant focus on instruction in Biomedical Informatics topics, consisting of over 45 hours of required sequenced and integrated instruction. More information on The Evolution of a Novel Biomedical Informatics Curriculum for Medical Students.
Clinical Informatics Fellowship
Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in February 2015, the two-year Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program was launched in July 2015 by The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix; and was sponsored by Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix with its first cohort of two physician fellows. The program offers rotations across multiple healthcare systems, including Banner Health, the Phoenix VA Health Care System, Onvida Health, Dignity Health, Valleywise Health, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, and Honor Health. Fellows gain experience with leading EHR platforms (e.g., Oracle Health, Epic Health), complete online biomedical informatics training through Arizona State University College of Health Solutions and are eligible for the Clinical Informatics subspecialty board examination upon graduation.
From 2017 to 2025, the program has successfully graduated 17 clinical fellows across 9 cohorts, many of whom have become leaders in applying informatics innovation to healthcare delivery, translational medicine, and digital health transformation. The program currently supports four fellows in the 2024–2026 and 2025– 2027 cohorts, continuing its mission to train the next generation of physician Informaticians.
Upcoming Grand Rounds Lectures
Please Join us for the 2026 – 2027 Biomedical Informatics (BMI) and Clinical Informatics (CI) Grand Rounds, held on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Phoenix Time / MST) in the BSPB First Floor Seminar Room or via Zoom.
Our Grand Rounds lecture series features distinguished leaders, innovators, and researchers in biomedical and clinical informatics who share insights into emerging trends, technologies, and discoveries that are shaping the future of healthcare, biomedical research, and data-driven medicine.
Details for each upcoming lecture will be posted on the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Events Calendar and the Department Seminars webpage.
