Overview
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 and practitioners.
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 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Consortium.
There are a variety of benefits to students participating in the Consortium including:
1. The Consortium will pay the AMIA conference registration and AMIA
student membership fee for students whose submissions are accepted.
2. 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.
3. Students will receive valuable feedback on their research from
both their peers and faculty who have been in the field for a number
of
years
The Consortium will be held in conjunction with the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) 2008 Annual Symposium in Washington DC.
