The Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research (WIHIR), the School of Optometry and the School of Pharmacy (all at the University of Waterloo), the Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and the National Institutes of Health Informatics (NIHI) are co-hosts of the first Advances in Health Informatics Conference (AHIC) from April 28 to 30, 2010 at the University of Waterloo's School of Pharmacy at the Health Sciences Campus in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

AHIC is an bi-annual, top-tier, peer-reviewed, Health Informatics conference addressing innvoation, research and education and attracting national and international visionaries, researchers, industry experts and government leaders from around the globe.

NIHI felt that it was time for an Health Informatics conference in Canada , one with an ‘applied’ focus, and asking the question, “How can we make a difference?”

AHIC will alternate with the Information Technology Communications in Health (ITCH) Conference, held in Victoria, B.C.

Sholom Glouberman, president of PAC, will be speaking at the AHIC 2010 conference as part of the Think Tank on “Revisiting eHealth Strageties” on Friday, April 30 from 1:00 – 4:30 pm at UW’s Health Sciences Campus (School of Pharmacy, Kitchener). He will be discussing the place of patient information in complex systems.
