Workshop

09 November 2003

Hi all :

As Program Chair for the AMIA Primary Care Informatics Working Group, I am delighted to invite you to attend this year’s primary care workshop day, which will be held on Sunday 9th November this year in Washington DC. I give the program below, and you will see that we are planning on a very busy day! Please note there is no charge for attendance at this session. This year, the timetable is a little different, as AMIA is holding the opening session at 1 pm instead of 6 pm, so there will be a break in the proceedings - but don’t let that stop you coming back at 3.15! Here’s the program:
