Program Benefits

The AIDH Fellowship by Training Program is a unique and prestigious opportunity for PhD candidates within digital health and health informatics.

There are many benefits of joining the program. Candidates will:

  • Maintain their membership of AIDH and be exposed to leadership opportunities
  • Obtain industry work experience allowing you to build a portfolio of work
  • Create a career pathway and future job network
  • Receive payment for two work placements – each placement is 6 month full time or 12 months part time
  • Join a cohort of other health informatics PhD candidates
  • Have an opportunity to develop their leadership skills
  • Receive AIDH Fellow status upon successful completion of the program

The Program

The FbT program involves three key experiences and programs of learning.

  • PhD – a health informatics research doctoral program at an Australasian university (typically three years)
  • Work Placements – two paid health informatics six-month work placements
  • Supplementary learning – including participation in journal clubs, masterclasses and an annual colloquium

On completion of the Fellowship Program candidates will hold a PhD, have a portfolio of work and established industry contacts, and will be awarded Fellowship by the Australasian Institute of Digital Health.

“The Fellowship by Training program is Australia’s ‘slingshot’ program for emerging health informatics leaders. Only high achieving PhD candidates studying digital health are selected into the program. The coursework challenges thinking, develops learning and facilitates exposure which benefits ourselves professionally, and the communities we are trying to help with advancing digital technologies. The wide perspective on health and care afforded to me during my work placement was immensely maturing from a professional development point of view. I look forward to graduating to Fellowship status with the Institute soon!”
