If you have the opportunity to choose an informatics-related project (whether it is for an elective or mandatory rotation), strongly prefer working on '''implementing''' an existing software or device rather than developing a new one. For new informatics tools, even if proven to be accurate and reliable in multiple publications or conference presentations, the main bottleneck is still to make people actually use it, especially beyond your local institution. There is still a possibility that a new informatics tool can make a lasting change, but before starting there needs to be an implementation plan that goes beyond research and publication. Such a plan may include making the tool open-source, with the creation and maintenance of a dedicated website for guidance and downloading, or establish a partnership with industry. | If you have the opportunity to choose an informatics-related project (whether it is for an elective or mandatory rotation), strongly prefer working on '''implementing''' an existing software or device rather than developing a new one.
