Public Health Informatics Training (PHIT) Program

During this 1-year program, you will be provided enhanced public health training and guidance and support on career pathways through our Life After AmeriCorps training modules. This is in addition to the onsite training Public Health AmeriCorps members will receive from George Mason University. Members will provide services for underserved populations during a 12-month fellowship which will include 18-20 hours a week of direct program work and 2.5 hours a week of classroom learning for a total of 900 hours. You will learn to identify and capture the data, remember to stratify patients' risk levels within various categories (social need, chronic disease, mental and substance abuse risk, etc.), and connect patients to appropriate specialty health and social service partners. As you gain experience, you will have the opportunity for increasingly complex informatics-specific tasks from data collection to data organization, modeling, and analytics focused on specific task outcomes; collecting of individual-level high-needs patients' data; and social media data mining. Members will provide services for underserved populations during a 12-month fellowship which will include 18-20 hours a week of direct program work and 2.5 hours a week of classroom learning for a total of 900 hours.
