Current Fellows in the Clinical Informatics Fellowship

Medical school: Aga Khan University Medical College, Pakistan (MBBS or MD)

Residency: University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (General Surgery)

Graduate school: Northwestern University (MS in Artificial Intelligence)

Professional interests: surgical oncology, equity in cancer care, global surgery, global oncology, surgical informatics, clinical research informatics, ethical AI in healthcare, healthcare policy, clinical workflow management and assessment

Reason for choosing our fellowship: "For me it boils down to what I like to call the 3-Ps: working with great People at an innovative Program, in the ideal Place to grow as a budding clinical informaticist. I chose the UW Clinical Informatics Fellowship because the program allows me to juxtapose my professional and personal goals in a unique way. As a general surgery resident pursuing this fellowship during my academic development time, the UW program allows me to maintain my clinical interests and experience while delving into the novel and nuanced world of clinical informatics, helping me gain skills I hope to use as a future global surgeon, surgical informaticist and cancer surgeon. I am excited to work with our faculty who are all renowned giants in their fields as informaticists and with collaborators and colleagues at Epic headquartered down the road in Verona."

Medical school: Hashimite University, Jordan

Residency: Indiana University School of Medicine, Ball Memorial Hospital (Internal Medicine)

Professional interests: Informatics for acute care and internal medicine, clinical decision support and AI‑augmented reasoning, medical education and teaching

Reason for choosing our fellowship: "I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of clinical care, data, and technology. During my internal medicine residency, I saw how the design of digital tools can either empower clinicians or create unnecessary barriers. I wanted to contribute to building systems that make care safer and clearer. I grew up across multiple countries, and those experiences, along with my work in underserved communities, taught me how profoundly system design shaped equity and access. Through clinical informatics, I found a way to improve those systems at scale. I became especially motivated to work with AI, decision support, and data visualization because they offered powerful tools to reduce cognitive load and help clinicians stay focused on what matters most, their patients."
