Molly Talman is a clinical fellow in pediatric hematology and oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She intends to become a clinician-scholar with a focus on clinical informatics approaches to address challenges in cancer care delivery in pediatric oncology. She aims to evaluate and utilize emerging technologies to determine their suitability in clinical use and improve patient care, including incorporation of evidence-based guidelines. She hopes to use this program to provide didactic instruction and a solid foundational background in clinical informatics, health information technology, and clinical decision support. She plans to use the knowledge and skills she gains in the MS-ACI program to supplement her fellowship research project during which she proposed to develop and test a tool to streamline creation of care plans for survivors of pediatric cancer.

Fall 2024-Spring 2026

Sarah Stern is a resident at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, I participated in the residency program’s clinical informatics pathway, which sparked my interested in clinical informatics. As a resident and chief resident, she participated as a physician builder working on projects ranging from resident workflow optimization, clinical documentation efficiency, harmonization between two different EHR instances, to inpatient hypoglycemia risk modeling.

She is an internal medicine physician working in the walk-in clinics during the fellowship but love practicing both inpatient and outpatient general medicine! She looks forward to delving deeper into informatics during the MS-ACI program and informatics fellowship, especially using informatics and data to make care better for patients and more efficient for clinicians.
