Abstract

The Yale Center for Medical Informatics has offered Medical Informatics training since 1986. The paper describes the overall structure of the training program, focusing primarily on the postdoctoral fellowship, a major component of which involves an independent project which the fellow carries out under faculty supervision. The paper outlines a number of areas in which such projects have been performed, describes the previous backgrounds and post-training career directions of the trainees, and discusses certain observations based on our experience with the program.
