NOHIMSS & Kent State University Health Informatics Program Webinar Series

Call for Presenters 2019-2020

 

Third Wednesday of Every Month, 12:00 PM Live

Archived on HI Pulse on YouTube for future viewing

1 hour of CAHIMS/CPHIMS credit for each webinar attended

Credit available for one year after original date

 

We are seeking presenters for our monthly webinar series in Health Informatics. The purpose of the series is threefold: 1) bring topics of real world relevance to graduate students in Health Informatics to supplement their classroom experience; 2) provide an opportunity for members of NOHIMSS to engage with the students for potential networking, internships and employment; 3) provide an avenue for earning CPHIMS/CAHIMS credit for members of the NOHIMSS Chapter.

 Presenter Guidelines:

  • Presentations are limited to 50 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for questions and answers.
  • You may do the presentation from the comfort of your home and/or office. No need to travel to Kent.
  • Presentations will be in webinar format. KSU will provide the WebEx platform and will be responsible for archiving the presentations and delivering CPHIMS/CAHIMS certificates.
  • All members that are interested in presenting are invited and encouraged to submit a presentation proposal. Please keep in mind that the presentation should be educational in nature so the CPHIMS/CAHIMS can be awarded and the students can receive academic credit.
  • Topics that are unique, innovative, or represent current issues in health information technology are sought. We also want to involve as many types of organizations as possible.
  • If selected, you will be contacted by a graduate assistant at KSU to finalize a date and details of your presentation.
  • Your live presentation will be recorded and will be uploaded to the HI Pulse YouTube channel for future viewing.
  • A small token of our gratitude will be presented.
  • If you work for an organization that sells an HIT product or service, the description of your company, logo and contact information must be limited to the last slide only to support the mission of enhancing professional knowledge through education. You are also encouraged to partner with a co-presenter from a Healthcare organization.
  • If selected, you will be required to your final slide presentation for review prior to the event as is required to offer CAHIMS/CPHIMS CEUs to our chapter members.
