The Panel discussion is entitled "Viewpoints on Career Success in Clinical IT" and it takes place Wednesday, February 4, 2009 from 10:30 am to 12 noon in the Santa Rosa Room.

Abstract:
Clinician IT leaders are in strong demand and will continue to be for many years as more EMRs are adopted. Our panel will examine the current clinical IT job market, skill sets needed to succeed and career resources to use.

Three clinical IT leaders - a CMIO at a large multi-site health system, a CMO of Pediatrics at a major clinical IT software vendor, and a Director of Applications, an RN, at a university health system will discuss their unique stories of moving from direct patient care to clinical IT leadership positions.

Our discussion will include recommendations for career success and indicate any potential pitfalls for clinicians moving into IT leadership roles.
