Other details of training Each fellow has primary office space in the BICC, and may have additional office space at other institutions where he or she is conducting research or taking courses.
Several conferences are available to fellows.
The Division of General Internal Medicine at the neighboring Veterans Affairs Medical Center has a bi-weekly didactic seminar in research methods, to which the division faculty and other training program faculty contribute. Once a week, the program director meets with all fellows and presents updates of current trends in informatics, tutorials on topics of interest, and training in areas of special concern such as the ethical conduct of research. Fellows are encouraged to attend at least two national meetings where they are expected to present their own research and participate in the discussion of research by colleagues. Such meetings typically include the fall AMIA conference and the annual NLM training program meeting. Last updated February 12, 1999.
