Clinical Informatics Fellowship

The Clinical Informatics Fellowship at HonorHealth is designed to train fellows from all specialties in every aspect of clinical informatics including tools, concepts and methods. Fellows collaborate with multidisciplinary healthcare, IT and C-suite professionals to advance and improve the delivery of care using technology more efficiently and effectively. Working with vendors, technology partners, and innovation teams, fellows will apply the outcomes of their work in support of HonorHealth’s vision to be the partner of choice in transforming healthcare for our communities.

Now aligned with Arizona State University's new School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering and School of Public Health, the HonorHealth Clinical Informatics Fellowship is positioned at the intersection of education, technology, and population health innovation.

Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, our program offers a well-rounded informatics experience with flexibility to pursue individualized goals. Fellows engage in clinical improvement, patient safety, quality, social determinants of health, and public health challenges like the opioid crisis. We value self-starters who take initiative—and we also recognize the importance of time to enjoy life outside of medicine.

Training and curriculum

The Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program is a unique program that will include faculty who are part of the HonorHealth Clinical Informatics Department and faculty from the Biomedical Informatics Program at Arizona State University's (ASU) College of Health Solutions. ASU’s new School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering and School of Public Health provide additional academic depth, with a shared commitment to using technology, engineering and community-based care to advance health outcomes across Arizona.

The Clinical Informatics Department consists of an interdisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, medical assistants, surgery technicians and trainers. The ASU faculty will work closely with HonorHealth faculty to teach and administer the fellowship.

Fellows will also work closely on teams of IT analysts, data analysts, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, case managers and marketing personnel within the governance of our transformation steering committees and domains to streamline the use of technology in healthcare delivery.

Fellows will receive their Masters of Advanced Study in Health Informatics from ASU and gain knowledge and skills in informatics to enable them to:

Detect disease early
Improve the patient hospital experience
Improve the precision of diagnosis
Improve the quality of patient health care and reduce its cost
Minimize hospital visits

Each fellow has the opportunity to travel to Epic’s headquarters in Verona, Wisconsin, for Physician Builder training. Fellows also gain access to additional Epic classes tailored to their interests, such as Reporting Workbench, SmartTools, Cogito, and Order Set optimization. They are then able to apply what they learn in real-world QI and clinical build projects across the HonorHealth system.

As part of the growing academic partnership with ASU's medical and public health schools, fellows may have opportunities to participate in research and teaching efforts that support ASU’s mission to blend medicine, engineering, and the humanities in future healthcare workforce training.

Fellows will have the opportunity to rotate to a wide variety of healthcare settings such as hospitals, ambulatory care centers, FQHCs, health information exchanges, insurers, data warehouses and research centers. Each rotation and elective have been designed to expand their skills in informatics based on the unique characteristics of the rotations.

Primary clinical site: The primary clinical site will be dependent on the primary specialty of each fellow.

Participating sites: Any HonorHealth Medical Group - Primary Care site, HonorHealth Research Institute, ASU's College of Health Solutions, Mercy Care, Innovation Care Partners, Renal Care Organization, Health Current, Valleywise Health, Phoenix VA Health Care System, Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH).

Coming soon: Opportunities for cross-collaboration with ASU’s inaugural medical school class (2026–27) and expanded involvement with ASU-HonorHealth joint research initiatives in areas such as clinical decision support, AI, and population health analytics.
