Washington, DC – Twenty-five new Fellows will be inducted into the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI) on November 10 at a ceremonial dinner during the 2024 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual Symposium. New Fellows are elected annually to the College by active members of ACMI.
AMIA's Annual Symposium presents leading-edge scientific research on biomedical and health informatics, showcasing more than 600 presentations across 150 sessions. The work presented spans the spectrum of the informatics field: translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics, consumer health informatics, and public health informatics.
“I’m thrilled to welcome this very diverse group of talented and nationally known informatics experts. It has become extremely competitive to be elected into ACMI. This group of experts stood out in terms of their reach and impact,” said ACMI President Kevin B. Johnson, MD, MS, FACMI, FAMIA, FIAHSI, David L. Cohen University Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Computer and Information Science, Pediatrics, and Science Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
The FACMI designation is one of distinction and pride. They represent excellence from academia, government and industry and are the best and brightest stars in our field demonstrating thought leadership, stellar experience and established scholarship. Together their important contributions to biomedicine and healthcare inform, educate and inspire the informatics community to improve human health.

ACMI is an honorary College of elected Informatics Fellows from the United States and abroad who have made significant and sustained contributions to the field of medical informatics and who have met rigorous scholarly scrutiny by their peers. Incorporated in 1984, ACMI dissolved its separate corporate status to merge with the American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics (AAMSI) and the Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care (SCAMC), when AMIA was formed in 1989. The College now exists as an entity within AMIA, with its own bylaws and regulations.
