InformaticCon Program

VCLIC hosted its first ever InformaticCon event on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022 from 12:00-2:00 pm in the VU Student Life Center Board of Trust Room. The event celebrated and showcased a variety of clinical informatics-focused projects that people from across VUMC are or have worked on, and we believe the end result was a display of a truly diverse array of impactful work! During the first hour of the event, eight speakers gave lightning-style (no longer than 7 minute) talks, and for the second hour, we held a poster session with 27 presenters. 

Please find an archive of all the talks and posters we are able to share from the event below! We are already looking forward to next year.
