AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium First Look Program

The 6th annual First Look Program introduces undergraduate women with an interest in informatics and/or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) to the field.

Students are eligible to receive free conference registration and are welcome to participate throughout the week as their schedule permits. Please note, attendance is required on November 6.

The AMIA First Look Program is supported by the Women in AMIA Steering Committee with generous financial support from the Training in Informatics for Underrepresented Minorities in Public Health (TRIUMPH) Consortium*.

Eligibility

First Look participants must be at least at the sophomore level at an undergraduate institution with a STEM-focused program at an institution in the Washington D.C. area.

Objectives

The AMIA First Look program aims to:

Provide underrepresented undergraduate students with an interest in informatics and/or STEM an opportunity to learn about the field of informatics by attending key symposium events on November 6th.
Introduce and engage students in the Women in AMIA community by interacting with women in informatics through assigned mentored guides and both formal and informal networking receptions; and
Equip students with resources for internship and post-graduate career “next-steps” in informatics by networking and making connections with industry and educational professionals in the exhibit hall.
