Student Paper Competition
AMIA is proud to feature the annual Student Paper Competition as a part of the AMIA 2002 Annual Symposium. This competition was open to all persons enrolled in a degree-granting program or in a medical residency or a post-doctoral fellowship as of March 1, 2002.
Students were invited to submit papers expressing original ideas and reasonably complete research or development efforts in medical informatics. Topics or issues derived from (but were not limited to) such areas as computer science and artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, health care technology, health care administration, nursing, medical education, imaging and graphics, communications and networking, and biomedical research.
Student Paper Judging
The judging process occurs in two phases. In the first phase, submitted manuscripts were evaluated for technical and scientific merit by a panel of independent reviewers. The reviewers scored for originality and innovation, analysis of relevant prior work, importance of the contribution to medical informatics, and organization and clarity of the presentation. Eight finalists were chosen for the second phase: oral presentations.
For the second phase, the finalists have been invited to the AMIA 2002 Annual Symposium, and will give their oral presentations on Sunday, November 10, from 12:00 pm-4:00 pm. The winning authors will be announced at the Opening Session on Sunday evening. The panel of judges will select the prize-winning papers.
Student Paper Prizes
The author of the First Prize paper will receive an award of $500. The author of the Second Prize paper will receive an award of $350. The Third Prize author will receive an award of $250. At the judges' discretion, the Martin Epstein Award of $1,000 may be awarded to a paper deemed worthy. All finalists will receive certificates of recognition. Finalists' papers are published in the AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings.
