Bruce Levy MD, CPE

Bruce Levy, MD, CPE, is responsible for the development of informatics education throughout the medical school and clinical enterprise. Dr. Levy received his Doctor of Medicine degree from New York Medical College and is board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology, forensic pathology, and clinical informatics. He is also a Certified Physician Executive and a Fellow of the American Association for Physician Leadership. Prior to coming to Geisinger, Dr. Levy was an Associate Professor of Pathology and Biomedical Informatics, and Associate Chief Health Informatics Officer at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Levy is leading Geisinger’s efforts to introduce informatics education into undergraduate medical education, all medical residencies and fellowships, and a graduate program in Precision Medicine. He is Program Director for Geisinger’s ACGME-accredited clinical informatics fellowship, one of the first accredited programs in the United States.

Dr. Levy’s areas of research interest include the visualization, analysis, and sharing of complex health data, and the use of novel educational tools within medical education. The Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) is a tool designed to enable groups to collaborate in solving problems that require the juxtaposition of large volumes of information in ultra-high-resolution both locally and simultaneously at multiple remote sites. Dr. Levy developed tools that enabled SAGE to display and collaborate large-volume medical data, such as whole-slide images and genomic information. He has also worked to develop unique educational tools to enable multiple programs to work and learn together. One example is the CI fellowship virtual case conference and retreat series. He is currently working on the development of an educational Electronic Health Record (EHR) to facilitate informatics education for medical students and residents.
