For Your Informatics (FYI) Podcast
40 Episodes
Informatics turns data into information and knowledge. Informaticians discover health insights and accelerate healthcare transformation. AMIA Why Informatics? Podcasts is a pilot project bringing together diverse voices within the AMIA community.
For Your Informatics: exploring the limitless world of medical informatics, showcases talented individuals at all career stages and paths to reveal the limitless and diverse world of biomedical and health informatics professions, led by Women in AMIA.
The podcast originated in 2018 as a Women In AMIA initiative to share opportunities for women in the American Medical Informatics Association, promote equal opportunity and treatment of women in biomedical informatics, and increase the number of women in the biomedical informatics pipeline. We recognize that women are not the only underrepresented group in AMIA/biomedical informatics and the podcast content is valuable to everyone, not only the underrepresented. While the podcast remains produced by women, we hope to capture the interest of all humans in the world
