Hi Sara,
I am a Clinical Informaticist RN working remotely for Rady Children's Health in California, but I live right here in Houston!
We normally love taking in MSN students but are currently preparing for our EHR transition from Cerner to Epic - so we are preoccupied with training and building our new Epic instance. However, if you are still looking for a practicum in 6 months - please reach out to me (david.marble@choc.org) and I'll get you connected to our informatics group!
Good luck Sara!
Sincerely,
David Marble, MSN, RN, NI-BC

Subject: Health Informatics Practicum Shadowing Request
Hello,
My name is Sara, and I am a registered nurse at Houston Methodist Willowbrook currently pursuing my MSN in Health Informatics. As part of my practicum course, I am required to complete 200 hours shadowing a health informaticist.
I have been having some difficulty finding someone for this requirement, so I wanted to come on here and see if I could be connected with a health informatics professional who would be willing to support my practicum or allow me to shadow. I am flexible with scheduling and willing to travel anywhere if needed.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or connections. Thank you!
