Program Overview

UK HealthCare is launching a Fellowship in Pharmacy Informatics and Analytics starting in July 2024.

 This innovative program offers comprehensive training in ambulatory and acute care settings, with a strong emphasis on the electronic health record and data analytics. The fellowship is designed to provide the fellow with the skills needed to operate independently as a specialist in the practice of Pharmacy Informatics. 

Upon completion, fellows are expected to continue their professional journey at UK with a two-year commitment, further integrating their skills within our healthcare system.

The University provides a generous benefits package with a variety of options for health, dental, and vision coverage for fellows and their dependents. Information on coverage details can be found on the UK Human Resources Benefits site. Participation in additional voluntary insurance plans is also available. Fellows are eligible for the University's 200% employer match retirement saving plan. You receive an additional 10% of your salary alongside your 5% contribution, vested after 3 years.
