Biomedical health informatics is positioned to be a power-player in the future of healthcare by transforming care delivery and accelerating knowledge discovery. AMIA, professional home of the informatics community, has a large role to play in supporting the current and next generation of informaticians. This panel will share information from five different perspectives: AMIA Membership and Outreach Committee which provides services/benefits and fosters collaborations; AMIA Student Working Group which connects informatics students to share education experiences and career opportunities; AMIA High School Scholar Program which supports high school students conducting biomedical informatics research to showcase their work at the AMIA Annual Symposium; AMIA First Look Program which introduces undergraduate women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) to the informatics field by supporting attendance at the AMIA Annual Symposium. The panel will include an overarching Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) perspective as AMIA builds inclusive pathways to informatics education and careers.
