| The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports research training in biomedical informatics at 18 educational institutions throughout the United States. These programs offer graduate education and postdoctoral research experiences in a wide range of areas including: health care informatics, bioinformatics, clinical research/translational informatics, and public health informatics. Many programs also offer additional tracks in areas such as imaging, dental, and library informatics.
Each year, the NLM convenes an Informatics Training Conference to bring the participants in the informatics program together to showcase their work, to evaluate the full scope of current work in the field and to meet their peers. This year the 2011 Informatics Training Conference will be held on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Campus at the Natcher Conference Center in the Natcher Building 45 main auditorium on June 28 - 30, 2011. The Natcher Building is across Center Drive from the NLM (see campus map). NLM is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year and special events are planned. All trainees on full-time NLM appointments at the 18 institutionally-based programs as of the date of the conference, including trainees in the NLM-RWJF public health informatics initiative, are expected to attend this meeting. Trainees appointed at the Veterans Administration (VA) sponsored training programs, NLM's intramural traineees, informatics trainees at the NIH Clinical Center, and trainees in the CDC Public Health Informatics training program are also invited to attend and make presentations. |
