Apply for the Clinical Informatics Fellowship

The Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital (MGH/BWH) Clinical Informatics Fellowship at Mass General Brigham is an ACGME-accredited program designed to train physicians as future leaders in clinical informatics.

Eligibility

All fellowship candidates must be ABMS board certified or board eligible before the fellowship start date. This generally means that fellows will have completed a residency in the United States or Canada. If the candidate is a graduate of an international medical school, they must have a valid ECFMG certificate, and international candidates must have a visa (we sponsor both J1 and H1B visas). The candidate must also be eligible for employment in Massachusetts and obtain a Massachusetts medical license prior to starting the fellowship. 

Application process 

The Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women's Hospital (MGH/BWH) Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program is sponsored by the Department of Pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital and is open to physicians in all medical specialties. We are accredited by the ACGME for a total of six positions, and our program offers three different tracks (for more details see the Curriculum section).
