Testimonial:
Informatics as a field encompasses the different domains of our usage of technology to augment the delivery of healthcare, from clinical decision support to clinical documentation to patient education. During my residency training, I saw technological initiatives concomitantly improve our patient care and quality of life, and appreciated the profound effect that technology has on our medical practice. I believe that stewardship of the technology we use should fall into the hands of medical professionals who are stakeholders in improving the experience for patients, physicians, and all other medical professionals. I hope to use my own skill set in the service of this objective.
Since I touched base with Rochester Regional, even as an applicant, I was met with supportive and courteous leadership willing to communicate with me regarding the strengths and opportunities available at our program. The cooperative environment and breadth of study is palpable within the program, and the initiatives being undertaken illustrate a deeper understanding of the technological concerns physicians face, and a willingness to develop creative and thorough solutions to those problems. I am enthusiastic about learning within such an avant-garde department and contributing to our workflows as well.

Clinical informatics is an amazing and thought-provoking field of medicine that offers a unique opportunity to lead transformative changes within healthcare organizations. Personally, health disparities in medicine are an area of particular interest. I believe that technology and analytics can play a pivotal role in identifying and correcting these disparities, allowing for more equitable healthcare delivery. The ability that Clinical Informatics provide to us to uncover patterns and trends in data lets us target areas for improvement and guide interventions that promote health equity, among other exciting things.
Since I joined the RRH organization 3 years ago for my residency, I have become close to the faculty and staff that works here. During this time I have met friends and great co-workers that keep me motivated and engaged with any project, challenging or not. Being part of this program is a joy to me, and everyday that I share with the people here is exciting and refreshing.
