Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Clinical Informatics is a large part of the current surgical practice, yet, there is no formal curriculum to teach residents about informatics. The purpose of this article is to describe the field of clinical informatics, describe the potential of informatics to improve surgical care, and propose a framework to train surgical informaticians. DESIGN: This is a perspective summarizing the role of clinical informatics in current surgical training. CONCLUSIONS: The manuscript concisely discusses the potential impact of novel technologies and information systems on surgical care delivery. We demonstrate the importance of informatics training for surgeons and describe the relatively new fellowship program as well as the various pathways to obtain board certification in clinical informatics.
