🚀 Attention #AASLD members!
Do you have a passion for clinical informatics & digital health? Or interested in learning more about how this new field can improve hepatology patient care and research? A new Special Interest Group (SIG) may be on the horizon… 👀
We’re proposing a Clinical Informatics & Digital Health SIG to bring together members interested in EHR optimization, AI, clinical decision support, data science, mentorship & more.
👉 If the SIG is approved, would you join? Send me a chat for details!
