Fellows engage in a variety of projects and attend courses, discussion groups, and seminars.
Fellows may also help teach seminars and participate in various academic computing activities within the medical center. The goal of the fellowship is to provide fellows with a range of experiences that will prepare them for a career based wholly or in part in Medical Informatics. The most important part of the fellowship involves each fellow carrying out one or more projects under the supervision of a faculty member. A project may be research-oriented, or may be quite applied with an interesting, innovative aspect. Fellows often choose a project that is part of a larger, ongoing YCMI activity.
