Workforce development programs play a critical role in the LHS ecosystem. Dushyanthen et al. report on an innovative “LHS Academy” fellowship program for interprofessional clinicians to support workforce needs in “Fostering the Use of Learning Health Systems through a Fellowship Program for Interprofessional Clinicians.” This fellowship program lasts less than a year and consists of coursework and projects to nurture participants' roles as “digital health champions.” Program evaluation captured feedback about the program and also probed participants' reflections on their perceived barriers to participation, application of learned content in the workplace and in their work, and recommendations for program improvement. In “Review of Applied Health Informatics Courses in a Multidisciplinary Biomedical Informatics Department,” Motiwala et al. focus on the critical need for workforce development efforts to support informatics infrastructure in LHS. Like Dushyanthen and colleagues, they leverage survey‐based program evaluation to assess their interdisciplinary applied health informatics program to assess the program and faculty to develop strategies for program expansion. 9 10
