American Medical Informatics Doctoral Consortium

这是一个为期12个月的标准奖项，用于支持将于2008年11月8日至12日在华盛顿特区举行的美国医学信息学(AMIA)2008年度研讨会上的博士座谈会计划。这将汇聚大约10名医疗保健信息学领域的博士研究生，进行为期一天的演讲，并与5位杰出的资深教师导师进行互动。尽管博士联盟在计算机科学、信息科学和工程等其他领域是常见的活动，但它们在医学信息学领域并不知名。然而，人们越来越需要为博士生提供一个论坛，让他们分享自己的工作，并与其他博士生和研究人员建立网络。该联盟的目标是通过知名研究人员对博士生研究的建设性评论和反馈以及与其他学生的互动来支持博士生。该联盟对来自广泛学科和方法的学生参与者感兴趣，这些学科和方法为医学信息学提供信息，包括计算机科学、信息科学和工程学。学术价值：该联盟为从事跨学科和多学科学术研究的学生提供了一个论坛，重点关注围绕医疗保健技术的组织和社会问题。它充当了一个论坛，让专家和同行批评学生的博士工作，目的是提高他们的论文质量。更广泛的影响：该联盟将可能无法相互接触的人聚集在一起，使他们面临不同的科学学科研究方法和问题，为年轻研究人员培养支持性的指导网络，并最终帮助培养与医疗保健相关领域的技术开发和使用相关领域的下一代科学家和教育工作者。

This is a 12-month standard award to support a Doctoral Colloquium program at the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) 2008 Annual Symposium to be held in Washington, DC (November 8-12, 2008). This will bring together approximately 10 dissertation-stage doctoral students in the field of Health Care Informatics for one day of talks and interaction with 5 distinguished senior faculty mentors.Although doctoral consortiums are common activities in other domains such as computer science, information sciences, and engineering, they are not well-known in the medical informatics community. Yet, there is a growing need to provide a forum for doctoral students to share their work and also network with other doctoral students and researchers. The goal of the consortium is to support the doctoral students through constructive remarks and feedback on their research from prominent researchers and interaction with other students. The consortium is interested in student participants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform medical informatics, including computer science, information science, and engineering. Intellectual Merit: The consortium provides a forum for students engaged in inter- and multi-disciplinary scholarship focusing on organizational and social issues surrounding healthcare technologies. It functions as a forum for expert and peer critique of the students' doctoral work with the goal of improving their dissertations. Broader Impact: The consortium brings together people who might not engage with one another otherwise which exposes them to different scientific disciplinary research approaches and questions, fosters a supportive mentoring network for young researchers, and ultimately helps develop the next generation of scientists and educators in fields related to the development and use of technology in healthcare related fields.
