Dr. Leanne Field is a Distinguished Senior Lecturer in the College of Natural
Sciences and Department of Molecular Biosciences at The University of Texas
at Austin (UT Austin). She also holds an appointment as an Adjunct Associate
Professor of Public Health at The University of Texas Health Sciences Center at
Houston, School of Public Health. Dr. Field is the Director of the Public Health,
Medical Laboratory Science and Health Informatics and Health IT Programs
for UT Austin. She teaches courses in human infectious diseases and emerging
and re-emerging infectious diseases, and carries out applied public health and
public health informatics research in partnership with members of local and
state public health practice agencies. Dr. Field received her B.A. from Florida
State University in 1972, her M.S. from the University of Georgia in 1973, and
her Ph.D. from UT Austin in 1987. Since joining the faculty in 1997, she has
been honored with multiple teaching awards, including The University of Tex-
as System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award (2010) and the President’s
Associates Teaching Excellence Award (2013). (2013).
Dr. Field led the development and implementation of the state’s first B.S. in
Public Health degree for the university, which was offered to students for the
first time in Fall 2010. This dynamic, interdisciplinary major now includes 300
students. Graduates of the public health undergraduate degree program have
matriculated to the top graduate schools of public health in the nation, sought
dual MD/MPH degrees and have directly entered the public health workforce.
Dr. Field has been the recipient of multiple grants from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to support programs de-signed to educate the
next generation of public health leaders at the university, includ-ing a public
health internship program, an advanced public health internship program fo-
cused on Texas-Mexico border health, and five “Become A Disease Detective:
Discover Public Health!” scientific conferences (www.biosci.utexas.edu/
diseasedetective). These very successful initiatives have been recognized na-
tionally by the Association of Schools and Programs in Public Health and the
CDC as model programs for the development of the public health workforce.
In April 2010, Dr. Field received $2.77 million from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, Office of the National Coordinator for Health In-
formation Technology as part of the Professional University Resources and
Education for Health Information Technology (PURE-HIT) consortium project.
She led a team of faculty and staff in the development and delivery of three
post-baccalaureate professional education programs in health informatics and
health IT that were delivered over a three year period. One of these programs,
an innovative nine-week post-baccalaureate program leading to a certificate in
Health Informatics and Health IT, continues as a sustainable professional

education program http://utw10273.utweb.utexas.edu/wp/ . Since July 2010,
655 students have graduated from this program, and 96% of graduates seeking
Health IT jobs have secured positions with 84 organizations nationwide. With
generous support from health IT industry partners and healthcare organiza-
tions, Dr. Field created a unique Health Informatics and Health IT Learning
Center on campus that includes a classroom, a clinic that models the healthcare
continuum of care (including a “smart” hospital room). She received a grant
from the university’s Longhorn Innovation Fund for Technology in 2011 to
create a one-of-a kind health information exchange (HIE) laboratory which
provides students with opportunities to experience interoperability first-hand
as they transfer simulated medical records through an HIE between two virtu-
al physician practices. In the rich techno-logical environment of the Learning
Center, students have opportunities to gain hands-on experience with multiple
EHR and HIE software systems, carry out workflow process redesign, learn HL
-7 message creation, and use Microsoft SQL and Access to perform data analyt-
ics exercises in a mock accountable care organization (ACO).
Most recently, Dr. Field partnered with CDC’s Public Health Informatics (PHI)
Fellowship Program to carry out a first-in-the-nation pilot of their new I-Scale
initiative, designed to increase the public health informatics workforce and to
meet informatics needs at state and local health departments. Three graduates
of the Health Informatics and Health IT Professional Education Program
solved a short term public health informatics problem at the Austin/Travis
County Health and Human Services Department using the same “In-fo Aid”
methodology utilized by PHI fellows. Students were taught by a public health
scientist at the CDC to utilize a standardized approach to solve real-world, real
-time problems associated with data collection, integration, translation, analy-
sis, visualization, and the use of data for decision making during public health
emergencies. CDC will now scale up this innovative program to include nine
other academic institutions in the nation. Along with UT Austin, these univer-
sities will teach students to solve public health informatics problems using this
approach to help increase the PHI Fellowship Program’s surge capacity to re-
spond to routine information needs and urgent public health threats. The three
UT Austin graduates who successfully piloted this program are now become
part of the PHI Fellowship Program’s “informatics corps” and they may be
called on in the future to respond during public health emergencies.
Dr. Field and the health informatics and health IT team at UT Austin plan to
continue to be national leaders in the development of innovative educational
programming in health informatics, public health informatics and health IT to
meet workforce demands in Texas and the Nation.
