\"Julie<\/a>Julie Nguyen, a second-year student at Belmont\u2019s College of Pharmacy, recently accepted an internship at axialHealthcare to work with the Enterprise Research team. A health technology and care solutions company, axialHealthcare partners with insurers and providers to improve patient outcomes regarding pain and opioid care.<\/p>\n

By joining the team as an intern, Nguyen will support axialHealthcare\u2019s efforts by using data from claims and other sources under the guidance of Dr. Amber Watson, clinical pharmacist and scientific writer at axialHealthcare. As the Enterprise Research Pharmacy Intern, Nguyen will also collaborate with data scientists, analyze critical literature and develop technical writing skills to contribute to their mission.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Julie join the Enterprise Research team for her summer internship at axialHealthcare. Julie\u2019s writing skills and interest in drug informatics will serve her well as she contributes to axialHealthcare\u2019s publishing initiative and supports the organization\u2019s mission of mitigating opioid abuse and improving the wellbeing of patients in pain,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n

Nguyen is currently a student in Belmont\u2019s College of Pharmacy with a concentration in healthcare informatics. In addition to strong clinical classes, she also has both didactic and hands-on training on contemporary healthcare technology and its use in pharmacy practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to have this opportunity,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cI\u2019ll work hard to develop diverse skills and become a more well-rounded pharmacist in the future. I appreciate all my professors for their guidance and support thus far, and I\u2019m very grateful to axialHealthcare for extending this offer to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Anthony Blash, associate professor and lecturer in the College of Pharmacy\u2019s healthcare informatics concentration, created a sequence of five courses and one-month intensive experiential rotation to prepare Belmont\u2019s student pharmacists to become future leaders in healthcare informatics.<\/p>\n

\u201cNashville is considered by many to be home to the U.S. healthcare industry, with nearly 300 companies providing healthcare synergies found in few other places,\u201d said Blash. \u201cIf your interests lie in healthcare and informatics, our program stands apart. Our students have the opportunity to develop an impressive project portfolio during their time at Belmont, working on projects such as the creation of start pump clinical decision support, live EHR implementations, becoming data analysts while exploring big data and analytics with Microsoft SQL and creating artificial intelligence software for Amazon Alexa<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an HIMSS Approved Education Partner, the College of Pharmacy is the only pharmacy school in the world with a healthcare informatics concentration leading to an internationally recognized certification in healthcare informatics, which may be obtained before experiential rotations, residency inquiries and job searches begin.<\/p>\n

The informatics concentration at Belmont is partnering with interested organizations to provide competent student and graduate healthcare informatics with clinical expertise as APPE rotation students, and hopes to expand their program to include residents and\/or fellows.
