InformaticCon Program
VCLIC hosted its second InformaticCon event on Wednesday, September 27th, 2023 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm in the VU School of Nursing. The event celebrated and showcased a variety of clinical informatics-focused projects that people from across VUMC are or have worked on, and we believe the end result was a display of a truly diverse array of impactful work! During the first hour of the event, we held a poster session with 30 presenters, followed by a 45 minute panel session covering ways to get involved in clinical informatics at Vanderbilt, and a final hour with eight speakers that gave lightning-style (no longer than 7 minute) talks.
Please find an archive of all the talks and posters we are able to share from the event below! We are already looking forward to next year.
