medical informatics, including the social sciences, humanities, computer and information sciences, clinical sciences, law, and related fields. Applicants should be past the candidacy stage and near their thesis proposal defense. If you would like to apply
but do not meet this criteria, please contact the Consortium Chair. The Consortium committee will select approximately 10-12 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Consortium.<o:p></o:p></p>
