AMIA’s thought leadership in clinical informatics practice
A History of Research and Practical EducationAMIA supported research in defining of clinical informatics. With financial support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2007), AMIA launched an 18- month process to define the core content of the subspecialty of clinical informatics and the training requirements for proposed clinical informatics fellowships. AMIA hosted CMIO bootcamps in 2009 and 2011 and the first Clinical Informatics Conference (iHealth) launched in 2014. More recently, in 2019 AMIA developed a comprehensive and current description—practice analysis—of what Clinical Informatics Subspecialty (CIS) physician diplomates do and what they need to know.
