🎉We're celebrating 20 years of the Academic Forum!

Yesterday’s retreat brought the Academic Forum, a group of biomedical and health informatics training and education leaders, together for a day of connection, reflection, and forward-looking conversation.

From discussions on the evolving informatics workforce and AI to insights from community leaders, students, and education partners, the day reinforced our shared commitment to advancing informatics education and shaping what comes next.

If you’re working in informatics education and want to be part of these conversations, the Academic Forum is a great fit.

How does someone go from studying engineering at Princeton to leading the NIH? What can that journey teach the informatics community? This collaboration between Women in AMIA and the ACM ByteCast explores just that.

In the newest episode of the ACM-AMIA Joint Podcast Series, hosts Sabrina Hsueh and Li Zhou sit down with Dr. Monica Bertagnolli — surgical oncologist, physician-scientist, and the first woman elected President of the National Academy of Medicine. She's also served as the 17th Director of the NIH and the 16th Director of the National Cancer Institute.

Their conversation traces her path from engineering to cancer surgery to national leadership, and what it reveals about the data, decisions, and people shaping the future of health.
