The focus of this year's congress, health informatics education, is timely. With an ever increasing use of information technology in all facets of health care, demand for health professionals and administrators with informatics training is on the rise. The conference theme is Evaluating and Using Networked Information Resources and Services. Library Renovation Update C onstruction is expected to begin this month on the expansion and renovation of the Health Sciences Library. The 18 month long project will occur in phases.
All lectures are open to the public.
The History of the Health Sciences Lecture Series is sponsored each year by The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library and the University of Virginia School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education Program as an educational service for the University of Virginia Health System and interested citizens in the community. The Library hopes that the speakers and topics selected will promote a greater understanding of the historical and philosophical underpinnings of today's health care disciplines. The generous support of friends, faculty, and alumni of the University of Virginia Health System provide funding for the Lecture Series.
