Members of the WSU College of Medicine Office of Technology team recently attended the 2024 Information Technology in Academic Medicine Conference in New Orleans. This annual conference is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Information Resources (GIR) and brings together established and emerging leaders in technology and data-focused roles within the academic medicine space.
The conference featured sessions on navigating AI, project management, instructional design, and much more. The MedTech team says it was a good opportunity to connect with individuals from across the country and hear about what they are doing and how they can learn from each other.
Erika Fleck, senior director of strategic management, and James Henderson, education technology system administrator, received an honorable mention for the GIR Excellence Award for their 2023 presentation (and a later webinar): “From Chaos to 30,000+ Strategically Managed Tasks,” on the implementation of Asana and project management across the college. The award acknowledges a contribution with an innovative national or institutional impact that serves as a model for other institutions to follow.
