SIIM launches mentoring network at SIIM 2010 in support of imaging informatics research and science, to be held on June 3 - 6, 2010 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine ( SIIM ) will announce its new Mentoring Network designed to encourage, support, and develop researchers in the field of imaging informatics at the SIIM 10 Annual Meeting.  Mentors and mentees will have new opportunities to connect via the SIIM Mentoring Network.

The program design facilitates the mentoring process by bringing together experts in imaging informatics with those entering the discipline. Finding a mentor in this specific field is often challenging, as many clinical imaging departments do not have dedicated informatics programs. A mentee may wish to undertake a research project, but may not have an expert to connect with to pursue such work. Mentors are SIIM members who volunteer for participation in this program and qualify from being a part of an environment that fosters professional growth.  Anyone may join as a mentee, and gain valuable guidance from SIIM members with experience doing imaging informatics research.

The SIIM10 Annual Meeting, June 3-6 in Minneapolis, provides excellent opportunities for learning, networking, and development. A Scientist/Physician networking reception will take place on June 5th at SIIM2010 and provide the opportunity for mentors and mentees to meet each other face to face.

The scientific program includes promising research from informaticists around the globe, and includes New Investigator Travel Awards, the Roger Bauman Best Student Paper Award and scientific poster and demo prizes for talented young researchers.

SIIM encourages and supports research in the field of imaging informatics through its Annual Meeting scientific program and awards and through the Research & Education giving program. The Research & Education Fund supports the annual Dwyer Lectureship at the Annual Meeting, research programs such as Transforming the Radiological Interpretation Process (TRIP), and quality research of young scholars through the SIIM informatics Grant Program. SIIM Grant recipients will be presenting their work in the scientific session of learning tracks 4, 5, and 8 at SIIM 10 .
