Dr. Mohan is Vice-Chair for Education at the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE).  He serves as the Director of the OHSU clinical informatics subspecialty fellowship program, which was one of the first GME programs in the specialty to be accredited by ACGME. He is also the Director of the DMICE Graduate Program, which includes a graduate certificate, masters with and without thesis, and PhD (the latter in both the Health and Clinical Informatics (HCIN), as well as the Bioinformatics and Computational Biomedicine (BCB) tracks.

 Dr. Mohan's primary appointment at OHSU is with DMICE, and his secondary appointment is in General Internal Medicine. He is board certified in clinical informatics and internal medicine, an Inaugural Fellow of the American Medical Informatics Association, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

He is a clinician, an educator, a researcher, a clinical informaticist, and an avid gamer (not necessarily in that order, as he is quick to point out). He is also a Qel -- that's Klingon for "physician", as any hard-core Star Trek fan knows.

After finishing med school, Dr. Mohan decided to pursue further clinical training in the US; and boldly went where no Mohan had gone before – to Pittsburgh, PA, where he completed his residency in internal medicine, and started clinical practice.

He then moved to Portland to work at Legacy Health, where he was faculty and associate program director at the internal medicine training program at Emanuel and Good Samaritan Medical Centers, precepted residents, and served as clerkship coordinator at Good Sam for medical students from OHSU and Western University of Health Sciences. During that time, he won multiple teaching awards, including the Dean L McGinty MD Faculty Teaching Award, and the Best Outpatient Faculty Award.

Dr. Mohan completed a graduate certificate and then a masters in informatics at OHSU as a DMICE student. At the time, OHSU was awarded a large grant by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) that set up the infrastructure to create curricular materials that would be used by consortia of community colleges to build and deploy courses for entry level HIT workers to bolster the nation's clinical informatics workforce. Bill Hersh MD, who was DMICE Chair at the time, convinced Dr. Mohan that this was a worthy challenge, and that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" and so he became a full-time faculty in DMICE. 

Currently, Dr. Mohan teaches three courses in the biomedical informatics graduate program. In BMI 512, Clinical Information Systems, he teaches both basic concepts and practical applications of clinical information systems, with emphasis on electronic health records. Dr. Mohan also directs BMI 560: Design and Evaluation in Health Informatics, a required course for masters students that provides an overview of the concepts, vocabularies, and strategies needed to design and evaluate projects in biomedical informatics. And finally, he teaches BMI 519, Business of Healthcare Informatics, which provides clinical informaticians with skills and knowledge in the area of business practices relating to healthcare IT.

For many years, Dr. Mohan also taught in the OHSU-PSU Joint MBA in Healthcare Management program, where his course "Healthcare IT for Managers" was designed to familiarize managers and future leaders in healthcare with informatics and healthcare IT-related concepts.

With respect to research, Dr. Mohan is interested in how clinicians make decisions, how they interact with technology, and how technology influences their decision-making. He is also passionate about improving patient safety, and actively pursues research interests that espouse the safe delivery of healthcare. He was a member of the POET team led by Joan Ash PhD at DMICE, and was involved, amongst other activities with the group, in developing the ONC-sponsored SAFER guides. He has also become increasingly interested in using high-fidelity simulation to improve the use and safety of electronic health records. With Jeffrey Gold MD, Professor of Medicine and former Director of the Simulation Center at OHSU, he uses eye-tracking hardware and software to examine clinician interactions with the EHR interface. 

In his spare time, Dr. Mohan likes to travel. Like any other observant high-level night elf druid, he first spends some time at Moonglade and hangs out with his Cenarion Circle colleagues before heading out to explore more exotic locations in Azeroth.
