Leadership & Health System Governance
Clinical Informatics Fellowship
Clinical informatics leaders must understand not only technology, but how organizations make decisions about technology. Fellows at UK are integrated into the governance and operational structure of UK HealthCare, providing firsthand experience with how clinical priorities, technical capabilities, financial considerations, patient needs, and institutional strategy come together in health information technology decisions.
Learn Alongside Health System Leaders
Fellows work directly with leaders across UK HealthCare’s informatics ecosystem, including the Chief Medical Information Officer, Associate CMIOs, IT Medical Directors, Chief Digital Information Officer, Chief Data Officer, Chief Nursing Information Officer, physician builders, and other clinical and operational leaders.
This exposure allows fellows to observe different approaches to informatics leadership while developing their own skills in project leadership, communication, prioritization, and strategic decision-making.

A Seat at the Governance Table
Fellows participate in interdisciplinary governance groups responsible for shaping clinical technology and operations across the health system. These include the EHR Provider Advisory Council, Nursing Advisory Council, Operations Advisory Council, Patient Advisory Council, Enterprise Revenue Cycle Council, Unified Communication Committee, and Enterprise Data Governance.
Through these experiences, fellows learn how projects are evaluated and prioritized, how competing needs are balanced, and how health-system decisions move from proposal through approval, implementation, and ongoing oversight.

Developing Informatics Leaders
Governance participation is paired with increasing responsibility for real projects. Fellows work with clinicians, administrators, analysts, software developers, process-improvement specialists, project managers, and executive leaders to develop recommendations and move initiatives forward.
The goal is not simply to understand how an informatics organization functions, but to prepare fellows to lead within one.
