The AFMC Informatics Resource Group (or IRG), previously known as the Medical
Informatics
Resource Group, has gradually coalesced from the work of a number of
individuals attending the
annual meeting who were interested in pursuing collaborations between schools
in the area of
technology-mediated education. It has been recognized as a resource group of
the AFMC and
now involves participants from all AFMC affiliate organizations. Originally
led by Dr David Fleiszer
from McGill and more recently Dr Ben Chen from Queens the current Chair, Dr
Rachel Ellaway
from NOSM, took up the position in 2008.
