AMIA 2020 Annual Symposium Virtual Awards Gala

Hope Gray, MTS, BCC

1) Describe how you have interacted with AMIA in the past.

I participated in the AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference (CIC) virtually this summer and a couple of JAMIA Journal Clubs.  I hope to contribute to the DEI work in some way since I am a Board Certified Chaplain and my training has included ethics, empathy and DEI over the years. I have joined the following workgroups:

• AMIA First Look
• Clinical Information Systems
• Clinical Research Informatics
• COVID-19 Community & Discussion Forum
• Natural Language Processing
• Student Working Group
• Women in AMIA Discussion Forum

2) Explain why it is important to participate in the AMIA Annual Symposium and how this experience will assist in your career development.

I have a poster and a team project that have been accepted for the 2020 AMIA Annual Symposium. I am the team lead for a group of diverse students from various universities and we submitted a public health surveillance design that was accepted in the top five for AMIA's Student Design Challenge. We will present our design at the annual conference. So, it is imperative that I attend this annual symposium as it will 1) be an opportunity for me to gain experience presenting at a national conference, 2) help me gain feedback from participants to enhance my research and practice, 3) enable me to learn from students, faculty, clinicians or informaticists and 4) provide needed exposure amongst the medical informatics community (my new professional home).

3) What peer-reviewed poster, podium presentation, paper, panel or equivalent activity has been accepted by the 2020 meeting SPC?

1) Poster - Why is Chaplain Documentation not being used Across the Care Continuum?

1) Describe how you have interacted with AMIA in the past.

I am an AMIA student member and have participated in AMIA for a few years and have served as a reviewer for AMIA conferences. I have submitted 4 papers and more than 5 abstracts (podium abstracts and posters) to different AMIA conferences. I am actively participating AMIA in activities such as seminars, journal clubs and student design challenge (accepted by AMIA 2020 Annual Symposium). I also served as an AMIA 2020 Informatics Summit Student Volunteer. I have also submitted papers to JAMIA and JAMIA Open and served as a reviewer for JAMIA.

2) Explain why it is important to participate in the AMIA Annual Symposium and how this experience will assist in your career development.

I have 5 different presentations to make at the AMIA 2020 Virtual Annual Symposium: 1) student paper; 2) Podium Abstract; 3) Poster; 4) Student Design Challenge; 5) 7th KDDM Student Innovation Award Competition in AMIA 2020. I really want to present my work at the AMIA 2020 Virtual Annual Symposium and hear other professionals' comments and feedback. I would like to get connected with other researchers in AMIA and in the informatics domain. Participating in the AMIA Annual Symposium will definitely help me to explore potential opportunities for my future career.

3) What peer-reviewed poster, podium presentation, paper, panel or equivalent activity has been accepted by the 2020 meeting SPC?

Paper - Student: (3400447) Three Data-Driven Phenotypes of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome Preserved from Early Childhood to Middle Adulthood.

This work has also been selected as one of the three finalists in the 7th KDDM Student Innovation Award Competition in AMIA 2020 and I will present it in the AMIA 2020 KDDM Workgroup business meeting.
