S. Trent Rosenbloom, M.D., M.P.H., is a board certified Internist and Pediatrician on the faculty as an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics, an Adjunct Faculty in the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Nursing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. In these capacities, he is responsible for clinical patient care, for developing new information tools to aid clinicians, and participating in evaluating existing tools as they are integrated into clinical practice.

Dr. Rosenbloom received his B.A. with honors from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL and his M.D. and M.P.H. from Vanderbilt University where he also completed residencies in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. His medical informatics research career began in 1996 with the construction of a computerized clinical notes capture tool (CNCT) to document many types of inpatient and outpatient care. This work has evolved into a long-term interest in computer-based patient records. He has also participated in the construction of a novel CNCT at Vanderbilt for the capture of categorical information to be useful for subsequent decision support algorithms. In addition, Dr. Rosenbloom has practiced both Medicine and Pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Hospital as housestaff then as faculty since 1996, where he has cared for a wide variety of clinical problems. He continues to practice in this setting, occasionally overseeing the education of and clinical care by medical students, housestaff, and nurse practitioners in this setting.

Dr. Rosenbloom currently spends most of his energies evaluating the impact of clinical informatics systems on medical practice and outcomes. Dr. Rosenbloom's areas of interest include decision support, pediatric growth modeling, documentation systems and interface terminologies. He is currently engaged in an active NIH-funded program of research defining and testing desiderata for interface terminologies in support of clinical documentation systems.
