Fellow Program

Home » Fellow Program

The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) Board of Trustees established the Fellow program to honor and recognize CHIME members who have actively participated in the organization and who have made significant contributions to the healthcare IT field as a CIO.

Advancement to Fellow is an award and recognition for service and contribution to the organization, not just an acknowledgment of the length of membership in CHIME. The CHIME Board of Trustees is pleased to offer advancement to Fellow for those members who have been long standing contributors to the success of CHIME.

Application Process

Members wishing to apply should contact CHIME to begin the application process. CHIME staff will complete a membership audit to determine if all criteria for advancement to Fellow are met. If the criteria are met, the application will be submitted to the Board for approval. In the event that all prerequisites are not met, members will receive the audit with recommendations on ways to fulfill outstanding criteria. 

Applications for advancement to Fellow will be accepted year round.

After all applications are reviewed, the candidate will be notified of their Fellow status by the CHIME staff and shall also be sent an official letter of acknowledgement cosigned by both the President and the Chair of CHIME. Any issues should be directed to the CHIME staff, who will then work with the Board Member who oversees Membership to resolve any problems.

Award/Recognition

Fellow status in CHIME shall be designated by the letters FCHIME. Once awarded with Fellow status, the member may list FCHIME after his or her name.

All members achieving Fellow status will be featured in the CHIME’s newsletter and/or other printed materials. In addition, each member will receive a Fellow award at the Fall Forum proceeding .
