Join us virtually for a day of connection, conversation, and updates at the 2025 Academic Forum Retreat. This annual gathering is a chance for Academic Forum members to stay informed on key developments from AMIA and our certification and accreditation partners, hear from community leaders, and take part in meaningful discussions about the future of our field.
This year’s retreat features a keynote talk by Jessica Ancker, MPH, PhD, FACMI from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, focusing on the future of education in biomedical informatics. We’ll also have a panel discussion, community updates, and plenty of time for Q&A and open conversation. Bring your ideas, questions, and enthusiasm - we look forward to seeing you there!
