New developments in the study and practice of medicine are traditionally introduced via formal integration into undergraduate medical curricula. While this path has certain advantages, curricular changes are slow and may fail to showcase the breadth of clinical informatics activities. Less formal and more flexible approaches can circumvent these drawbacks. Interest groups (IGs), which are organized through the Association of American Medical College Careers in Medicine (CiM) program, exemplify the informal approach. CiM IGs are student-led groups that provide exposure to different specialty options, acting as an adjunct to the traditional medical curriculum. While the primary purpose of these groups is to assist students applying to residency programs, we took a novel approach of using an IG to increase student exposure to an area of medicine that had not yet been formally integrated at our institution. IGs provide unique advantages to formal integration into a curriculum as they can be more easily setup and can quickly respond to student interests. Furthermore, IGs can act synergistically with UME, acting as proving grounds for ideas that can lead to new courses. We believe that the lessons and takeaways from our experience can act as a guide for those interested in starting similar organizations at their own schools.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocac189","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]],"date-time":"2022-10-13T19:07:03Z","timestamp":1665688023000},"page":"202-205","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Engaging the next generation of physician\u2013informaticians through early exposure to the field: successes and challenges associated with starting a novel clinical informatics interest group"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9517-393X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William T","family":"Quach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University School of Medicine , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"given":"Chi H","family":"Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University School of Medicine , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"given":"Michael G","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University School of Medicine , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4566-4321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evonne","family":"McArthur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University School of Medicine , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3859-9130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica S","family":"Ancker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Informatics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"given":"Cynthia S","family":"Gadd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Informatics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center , Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}]},{"given":"Kevin B","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, University of Pennsylvania , Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"},{"name":"Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Pennsylvania , Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B1","author":"AMIA Clinical Informatics Fellows (ACIF)","year":"2022"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1641198","article-title":"Five years of clinical informatics board certification for physicians in the United States of America","volume":"27","author":"Lehmann","year":"2018","journal-title":"Yearb Med Inform"},{"issue":"e1","key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e42","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocu046","article-title":"Medical student awareness of and interest in clinical informatics","volume":"22","author":"Banerjee","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Am Med Inform Assoc"},{"issue":"Pt 2","key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B4","first-page":"1139","article-title":"Integrating medical informatics into an undergraduate medical curriculum","volume":"8","author":"Kaufman","year":"1995","journal-title":"Medinfo"},{"key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B5","author":"TIME: Clinical Informatics","year":"2022"},{"key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B6","author":"Hersh"},{"key":"2022121408270026800_ocac189-B7","author":"Medical Schools Ponder Move to Shorter Pre-Clerkship Curriculum.
