Working Groups

AMIA Working Groups serve as networks in which current members can exchange information on a particular area of special interest in biomedical and health informatics. Working Groups provide a way for members old and new to collaborate, meet new colleagues and become involved in the development of positions, issues, white papers, programs, and other activities that benefit the informatics community. Each Working Group extends to an online community in which members discuss key issues and developments in the field. Working Groups are open to all AMIA members.

AMIA's New Online Communities

AMIA has officially launched the new online communities platform for our Working Groups. This change will give you much more flexibility and choice in how you interact with your fellow members and provide a rich environment for member-based communication. The web-based Socious platform offers more than the simple "lists" that you’re used to. It provides state-of-the-art management of communities and discussions. To access the new communities, click here and login using your AMIA login information.

We will be completely migrating all archived content and shutting down the old listservs at the end of February. I hope you will take an opportunity to review the current list of working groups on your profile in the AMIA database. You should have already received an e-mail from the old listserv of the working groups that you belong to advising you of the change.

If you have any questions about this new member benefit, please contact AMIA’s director of member services, Rob Rader at rob at amia.org.

To find the new listserv address for the WG yo u're trying to reach, please visit the that WG using the navigation bar on the left.
