Colby Uptegraft, MD, MPH, MBI
Master of Biomedical Informatics, Class of 2020
Colby Uptegraft is an active-duty captain in the United States Air Force and trained in General Preventive Medicine. "I became interested in clinical informatics while designing smartphone applications and an EHR-driven clinical rounding sheet in medical school. I served as a flight surgeon at Keesler AFB where I commanded a pilot clinic focused on streamlining standardized exams for the USAF. My research during residency centered on creating a decision-support tool to help USAF medical providers write evidence-based occupational dispositions. I hope to continue learning about decision-support solutions and gain the necessary skillset to help the Department of Defense implement their new EHR across the Military Health System."
