Education

The UF Health Cancer Center invites you to its annual Research Showcase 2025 at the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Feb. 12.

The chance to share the newest artificial intelligence and healthcare research brought attendees from all over the globe to Orlando in early June for the 12th IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2024).

The very ambitious Miranda Reid, a student physician-scientist in the College of Medicine’s Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) at the University of Florida, recently won one of this year’s four awards from the National Cancer Institute in support of implementation science.

The current UF doctoral graduate was rife with scientific curiosity as an undergrad, but he often struggled to channel his academic interests – from philosophy to neuroscience – into one field. That was, until he discovered the endlessly fascinating world of biomedical informatics.

Held for the first time in Malachowsky Hall, HOBI Education Day was a great success, and we appreciate the organizers and many graduate students who contributed. During the full-day event we enjoyed 5 research presentations, 2 shark tank pitches, and 15 posters, along with the mentoring workshop and keynote.

Education Day is an annual event held in the spring by the College of Medicine’s Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI). View Education Day of 2026 View Education Day of 2025…
