Rather than view this situation as a setback, Dr. Lalani saw it as a new beginning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI realized I had developed many transferable skills that I could apply to other industries,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIt was about finding a field where I could contribute in a meaningful way.\u201d Thus began her pivot. Dr. Lalani transitioned from balancing ledgers to shaping the future of health informatics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Lalani\u2019s curiosity prompted her to explore non-clinical health care roles. \u201cAt the time, I thought health care meant being patient-facing, like a doctor or a nurse. I knew I wanted to contribute to health care, but not through direct patient care. I wanted to effect change in a different way,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her introduction to the world of health information began with a conversation with the late Sue Biedermann, then the director of the Health Information Management program at Texas State University. Biedermann not only introduced her to the field but also became a key mentor, encouraging Dr. Lalani to leverage her background in business and technology to make a significant impact in health care. \u201cSue was the person who opened my eyes to the possibilities in this space,\u201d Dr. Lalani shares fondly. \u201cShe became my biggest advocate and eventually nudged me towards academia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Lalani returned to school with Biedermann&#8217;s guidance and eventually earned a PhD in Healthcare Management and Policy. \u201cIt wasn&#8217;t just about making a career change; it was about applying what I had learned in finance and technology to an entirely new field\u2014one where I could contribute to the betterment of communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Dr. Lalani delved deeper into health informatics, it became evident that teaching was a natural extension of her journey. With encouragement from other mentors, she began teaching Health Information Management courses at Texas State University, joining one of the earliest online programs in the field. \u201cBack in 2012, having an online degree program was a novelty,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIt was an exciting time because we were bringing cutting-edge education to a broader audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching wasn\u2019t just about delivering knowledge from textbooks; Dr. Lalani\u2019s industry background provided her with a unique perspective, and she was dedicated to sharing real-world scenarios with her students. \u201cMy teaching philosophy has always been student-centered. I incorporate case studies and current events into my teaching method. I love bringing in guest speakers from the industry,\u201d she explains. &#8220;I want my students to understand how the principles they learn apply in real-world settings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, as the Program Director for both the bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree programs in Health Informatics and Health Information Management at the University of Washington School of Public Health in Seattle, Dr. Lalani continues to inspire her students. \u201cI want my students to become leaders in this space. The health care industry generates so much data, and we need skilled professionals who can manage and secure that information while making sure it\u2019s available for decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A recurring theme throughout Dr. Lalani\u2019s career has been the importance of mentorship. From Sue Biedermann\u2019s encouragement to her mentors at UTHealth, including Dr. James Langabeer and Dr. Tiffany Champagne-Langabeer, mentorship has been a cornerstone of her professional growth. \u201cMentorship has been such a vital part of my journey,\u201d Dr. Lalani says. \u201cI would not be where I am today without the guidance and support of my mentors. They helped me navigate the academic landscape and taught me how to apply my skills in impactful ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">She has carried this experience forward by mentoring the next generation of health informatics professionals. \u201cI tell my students, \u2018You don\u2019t have to know everything right now, but you must be open to learning and growing.\u2019\u201d Mentorship gives people the confidence to keep pushing forward, even when unsure of what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ve been so fortunate to work with incredible mentors and leaders like Dr. Susan Fenton, Dr. Kerryn Butler-Henderson, and Dr. David Marc,\u201d she says. \u201cTogether, we\u2019ve worked on research that continues to shape the field of health informatics, focusing on workforce development and preparing future professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The world of health information is ever-changing, and Dr. Lalani is keenly aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. \u201cDigital health is transforming the way health care is delivered, and we\u2019re only scratching the surface,\u201d she says. One of the most significant changes she sees is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health care. \u201cAI is already helping with data analysis, scheduling, and operational efficiency. As health informatics professionals, we have to be ready to adapt to new technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, she emphasizes that technology will always require a solid foundation of knowledge. \u201cNo matter how advanced the technology becomes, the core of what we do\u2014ensuring the integrity, security, and availability of health data\u2014remains essential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked what she hopes to achieve next, Dr. Lalani does not hesitate: \u201cI\u2019m passionate about educating the next generation of health information professionals,\u201d she says. \u201cMy role as an educator is something I cherish. We must prepare our students to be leaders because the future of health care depends on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">She also envisions continuing her efforts to expand the health informatics workforce and enhance community engagement through partnerships with industry leaders. \u201cI want our students to be exposed to both classroom and real-world settings. The University of Washington is globally recognized, and I see our programs as a way to create meaningful impact both locally and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Lalani\u2019s advice to new graduates entering the field of health informatics? \u201cFirst of all, congratulations! You are entering a field that is uniquely positioned to improve health care outcomes. You will be providing the data essential for safe, efficient, and equitable care. Embrace the opportunity, stay curious, and always be open to learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Dr. Karima Lalani is the Program Director for the master\u2019s and bachelor\u2019s programs in Health Informatics and Health Information Management at the University of Washington School of Public Health in Seattle.
