2013 AMIA Capitol Hill Day

AMIA Hill Day is a prime opportunity for AMIA to educate members of Congress and their staffs about biomedical and health informatics and communicate AMIA’s positions on important health policy issues. Hill Day is also a unique opportunity to speak out on behalf of the biomedical and informatics community. During this important event we build valuable relationships in Congress, spread awareness about health information technology and informatics and on behalf of AMIA and its members call for a number of congressional actions.
