The Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program welcomed its new fellows for the ’22-’23 academic year in July.
Azriel Stinson, D.O., joins the fellowship program after completing a pediatrics residency at Geisinger Health System in Danville, Penn. He will train at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, working closely with fellowship Program Director Dr. Pele Yu, Jr.
Nicolas Nadim Ghanem, M.D., joins the fellowship after completed a family medicine residency at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. He will train at UAMS Medical Center, working closely with fellowship UAMS Site Director Dr. Joseph Sanford.
Additionally, the fellowship welcomes Andrew Tran, M.D., a pediatric hematology-oncology fellow currently training at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Dr. Tran will undergo an integrated training experience in both clinical informatics and pediatric hematology-oncology, with a combined research project in his senior year. While completing his clinical rotations in peds hem-onc this academic year, Dr. Tran will be mentored in clinical informatics by Dr. Yu. Dr. Tran will begin the clinical informatics program’s mandatory rotations in ’23-’24, with the research focus year to follow. He has already begun a research project involving machine learning as a medication prediction tool for sickle cell. Dr. Tran completed his pediatrics residency at Baylor, Scott & White in Temple, Texas.
“We welcome our new fellows to the program, and we’re excited to offer this dual training experience for Dr. Tran, in partnership with the excellent training program in pediatric hematology-oncology,” Dr. Yu said. “We are often asked about dual programs by potential applicants, so we are happy to be able to offer this opportunity and explore the potential of this format for other fellows in the future.”
