Description

The mission of the AMIA Academic Forum is to foster the development, growth and improvement of academic units that educate students and conduct research in the discipline of biomedical and health informatics. The Forum provides a vehicle for academic units to interact, consider, and act jointly on issues important to them. This didactic panel describes the new organizational structure of the AMIA Academic Forum based on “educational communities”. The learning objectives for the panel include: 1. Understand how educational communities enable Forum members to engage with their peers to share knowledge, collect data, and promote standards across their institutions. 2. Understand the goals and activities of five different communities for informatics education: baccalaureate, professional master's, postdoctoral clinical fellows, nursing, and biomedical informatics academic leaders. 3. Understand the benefits for creating and participating in new educational communities within the Forum.
