AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association) 2009 Annual Symposium

AMIA Annual Symposium

Held each fall, the AMIA Annual Symposium is the world’s most comprehensive annual meeting on biomedical and health informatics. The Annual Symposium provides a wide range of formats for education and discussion. Papers and posters present peer-reviewed state-of-the-art scientific and technical work. Demonstrations and Partnerships in Innovation allow for comprehensive presentation of advanced systems, including new developments and innovative uses of commercial systems. Panels, keynote presentations, tutorials, and workshops bring together thought leaders for in-depth and active audience exchange about critical issues of the day.

The symposium continues to flourish as the premier forum for education in clinical informatics, clinical research informatics, public health informatics, and translational bioinformatics. The symposium brings together an amazing network of informatics experts that span the spectrum of foundations and applications of informatics. Each year, the meeting brings together over 2,000 professionals and students from an array of occupational settings—academic institutions, community-based organizations, government agencies and the military, health care facilities, industry, international health, private practice and research facilities.
