[nrsing-l] Informatics Traineeship: NURSES desired!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are really striving hard this year to increase the number of nurses
who apply for this program. It is a great opportunity - note that while
the program is located in the School of Medicine, our title is the
Division of Health Sciences Informatics. It is a truly
interdisciplinary training program. Please read on....................
The Division of Health Sciences Informatics at the Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine offers an exciting opportunity for
individuals to participate in an Informatics Training Fellowship. This
interdisciplinary program selects candidates from the disciplines of
basic science, clinical science, library science, nursing, and public
health. The two-year fellowship begins on July 1, 2005. Full
consideration will be given to applications received by February 15,
2005. Positions will be offered by April 15, 2005. See
http://dhsi.med.jhmi.edu/content/admissions.html for complete program
information.
Five fellows are accepted each year. Fellowships are open to any health
professional with a terminal degree (MD, PhD, DVM, DDS, MLS), and
nursing, public health, library, and computer science professionals with
master's degrees. Candidates for the National Library of Medicine-funded
fellowship must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, as stipulated
by our source of funding. Stipend range is $30,926 - $61,243 based on
current NIH standards and is determined by the candidates' years of
prior relevant experience and degree. Tuition and health insurance are
paid by the fellowship program.

A Masters degree in Health Sciences Informatics has now been integrated
into the Fellowship (new for this cohort!).
