2011 Doctoral Consortium on Sociotechnical Issues in Medical Informatics

Washington, DC

October 21, 2011

http://faculty.ist.psu.edu/reddy/amia/



The American Medical Informatics Association's (AMIA) People and Organizational Working Group along with the International Medical Informatics Association's (IMIA) Organizational and Social Issues Working Group is proud to sponsor the 2011 Doctoral Consortium on Sociotechnical Issues in Medical Informatics (http://faculty.ist.psu.edu/reddy/amia/).



The Doctoral Consortium is a forum in which doctoral students can meet and discuss their work with each other and with a panel of experienced researchers. We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform medical informatics, including the social sciences, humanities, computer and information sciences, clinical sciences, law, and related fields. Applicants should be past the candidacy stage and near their thesis proposal defense. If you would like to apply but do not meet this criteria, please contact the Consortium Chair. The Consortium committee will select approximately 10-12 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Consortium.



The Consortium will be held in conjunction with the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) 2011 Annual Symposium in Washington DC. Besides the symposium, participants will also be registered for the pre-conference Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare 2011 (WISH 2011) (https://wish2011.wordpress.com/) which will take place on Oct. 22. Participants will be expected to present their research at the Poster Reception at the workshop.



There are a variety of benefits to students participating in the Consortium including:



1. Participants will receive valuable feedback on their research from both their peers and faculty mentors.

2. The Consortium will pay AMIA conference and WISH registration fees. We will also reimburse a portion of the hotel and airfare for domestic (US) participants.

3. Accepted papers will have an extended abstract printed in the AMIA advance and onsite programs. The papers will also be listed on the consortium website.

4. Participants will have the opportunity to meet and network with peers and senior AMIA members.

5. Participants will be able to present their work at the Poster Reception at WISH 2011 for feedback from workshop participants.



The Consortium will be held on October 21, 2011 in conjunction with the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) 2011 Annual Symposium (https://www.amia.org/amia2011)in Washington DC Oct 22-26.
