ANCHASL Spring 2012 Meeting and Continuing Education 
April 20, 2012 - 9:00 am to 3:30 pm

CE - Peeling the Onion (Clinical Informatics)
Instructor: PJ Grier, Outreach/Access Coordinator, NN/LM SE/A
CE Hours: 4

Course Description:
Clinical informatics is often described as the "intersection of computer science, health sciences and information science." The objective is twofold. First, it will broadly explore this busy, growing intersection from several vantage points.  And two, it will illustrate the "front-facing" skills that librarians, a.k.a information scientists, can bring to the field of clinical informatics and healthcare information technology.  The demand for informaticians is expected to outstrip supply by 2015 because of federal healthcare reform initiatives launched, starting in 2004.  As a result, workforce development programs are now in place to help mitigate this shortage with some programs of interest to librarians.

Registration fee: $55 Members, $70 Non-members, $20 Student Members, $25 Student Non-members. Includes box lunch. Please make your lunch choice below.
