The Hub is also the home of the FEDIP community that allows you to easily connect with other, registered informatics professionals to share your knowledge and grow your network.
Play your part in shaping the informatics profession and transforming modern healthcare
We want to hear from you and work together to shape the future of the informatics profession.
