Introduction

Welcome to the IAMIWiki - the Citizendium [1]-like Wiki of the Indian Association for Medical Informatics. It has been launched at the sidelines of Meditel-2006 in CDH, AIMS, Kochi [2] on November 25th, 2006.

The Indian Association for Medical Informatics [3] or IAMI [4] has started this Wiki [5] for creating and maintaining knowledge on healthcare informatics through the Wisdom of the crowd (public participation of Medical Informatics experts).

IAMI has local chapters to facilitate regular and frequent interactions amongst its members. The following are IAMI chapters (in alphabetical order);

How to apply to become an Editor at IAMIWiki

Anyone willing to edit (not necessarily an IAMI [16] member) should send an e-mail to sbbhattacharyya_AT_yahoo.com with three items: (1) the preferred username; (2) a biography to be posted on the person's user page, containing (minimally) name, educational and professional highlights (i.e., just a list of degrees, main positions held, and/or important experience would do), and areas of interest; and (3) a CV or resume attached (or linked), as well as some links to Web material that tends to support the claims made in the CV, such as conference proceedings, or a departmental home page. These requirements may be fulfilled by a CV that is hosted on an official work Web page.

IAMI members will have to provide their membership number.

Following that, IAMIWiki Administrators will give you system permissions.

It may also be possible for valid members to login to the official website and then gain access to the wiki site through SSO at a later date.
