"As an emergency medicine physician working in a safety net hospital, I became acutely aware of the systemic gaps in care and recognized the potential of biomedical informatics to drive meaningful improvements. I chose to pursue a clinical informatics fellowship at Stony Brook because of its strong academic foundation and its emphasis on advancing the full spectrum of informatics—from health IT and clinical decision support to data science and systems-based innovation. The program’s commitment to cutting-edge research and its collaborative, interdisciplinary environment provided the ideal setting for me to develop the skills needed to design and implement technology-driven solutions that improve patient care and healthcare delivery."

"I chose to do a clinical informatics fellowship at Stony Brook because it was the ideal opportunity to explore and facilitate inter-professional collaboration between data scientists, IT and front-line clinical providers."

- Rachel Wong

"I am interested in clinical and biomedical informatics from both an operational and academic standpoint. I look forward to garner a skill set that will help me grapple challenges associated with day-to-day operations in molecular diagnostics and lab informatics to streamline workflows. I am also excited about learning the applications of data analytics and computational algorithms in medicine and pathology."

"My interest in Clinical Informatics stems from my passion for technology and patient care. My primary interests are in operations, healthcare security and data driven focus on clinical decision making. I choose Stony Brook University Hospital for its diverse patient population, supportive faculty, and adaptive curriculum."

- Bhargav Desai

"I have always been interested in the intersections between information technology and clinical medicine since medical school. This thought especially amplified during my internal medicine residency at Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, OR where I was involved in helping colleagues of all kinds configure and learn how to use the software tools for their work.

I joined the Stony Brook Clinical Informatics Fellowship program right after fellowship because I was looking to get a completely different educational and life experience than that from my residency. The Stony Brook program is new and offers exciting potential for customizing my education, it is located in a suburb with its unique patient population and lifestyle, as well as the fact that it is a state government-managed institution. In addition, it has a very large IT workforce which shows the organization's commitment to improve patient care and workforce satisfaction.

My primary interest is in user education and workflow improvement. I aim to practice with both clinical and leadership roles, with the hope of being able to help colleagues of any kind to work more easily and efficiently."

- Chao-Wei Tsau

"I chose to stay at Stony Brook for Fellowship after completing my Internal Medicine residency here. With an interest in data analytics, I was drawn to the Stony Brook Clinical Informatics program because of the unique opportunity to tailor my fellowship experience toward my career interests while simultaneously attaining my M.S. in Biomedical Informatics. As Chief Research Fellow, I've enjoyed leading a wide range of projects, and ultimately, I seek to organize translational research projects that operationalize data analytics into physician workflows."
