Overview
The Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics (SINI) was introduced in 1990 at the University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) following the implementation of the nation’s first master’s program in nursing informatics.
SINI is a nonprofit event hosted by UMSON that provides an opportunity to deliver multiple-level learning experiences to meet the needs of nurse and health care informaticians across the spectrum of practice.
For more than three decades, the UMSON informatics faculty, along with an expert planning committee consisting of national and international leaders in the field, have assessed the learning needs of the nursing/health care informatics community; reviewed technology and informatics trends; and made recommendations to determine the overall theme, goals, and objectives for each SINI event, held annually in July.
The overall mission, vision and goals of the institute are as follows:
Mission
SINI’s mission is to provide clinicians, leaders, and academicians with new knowledge, exceptional presentations, meaningful networking opportunities, and experiences that further develop leadership in the field of nursing and health care informatics.
Vision
SINI’s vision is to serve as the premier institute for innovative nursing and health care informatics continuing education and knowledge sharing. We aim to advance the field nationally and internationally.
Objectives
You are invited to submit a 5-minute video of your work and to be available for a live chat at a specified time in the Application Alley during SINI 2022.
If you have other documents and/or a website you would like us to post, please provide that information as well. We will have a formal feedback form for participants to complete for you as well as live feedback during the chat.
The due date to apply as a presenter for Application Alley is April 15, 2022.
