CHIP Fellowship Training

The Children's Hospital Informatics Program is one of seven Boston area research and development groups in medical informatics that together offer a combined Harvard-MIT-New England Medical Center Research Training Program in Medical Informatics funded by the National Library of Medicine. The program, coordinated by Dr. Robert Greenes, has co-directors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New England Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health. Several of CHIP's projects include major participation by postdoctoral research fellows in this program. Further information about postdoctoral and predoctoral fellowships in medical informatics is available.

CHIP has several productive collaborations with the other Boston Informatics Programs. Many of these are detailed in the research section of this web site.

Members of CHIP have helped develop the Genome Training Program (GTP) of the Division of Health Sciences and Technology at MIT. This pre-doctoral program funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute has Isaac Kohane, MD, PhD of Harvard Medical School and Greg Stephanopoulos, PhD of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as Co-Directors.

The goal of the CHIP Informatics Traning Program is to develop leaders in academic research and in industrial applications of informatics. All fellows in CHIP will be expected to apply to the Master's Degree program in Medical Informatics through the combined HMS/MIT program. The Masters Program combines formal course work with a research agenda. CHIP provides a rich environment for a variety of informatics investigations for this research agenda and faculty with a wide range of interests.
