Submitters are strongly encouraged to read the instructional guide before logging in to submit a proposal.

The 2018 Information Technology in Academic Medicine Conference, sponsored by the AAMC Group on Information Resources (GIR), is the premier event for the academic medicine technology community to share how they address various challenges and develop successful strategies for meeting organizational goals.

With information technology established as a strategic asset essential to the growth and success of medical schools and teaching hospitals, this event offers valuable peer learning and networking opportunities on critical issues.

Focus areas of this event include the education, research, and clinical missions as well as their intersections.

The Program Planning Committee is seeking proposals for session, poster, and digital demonstrations. Of particular interest are proposals that explore the strategic optimization of resources, especially those highlighting collaborations and partnerships. Proposals featuring multiple institutions and case studies around strategic initiatives or operational excellence are also encouraged.
