The Institute is calling for nominations from eligible members who would like to hold a leadership position within one of our six CoP Committees.
Being part of a CoP Committee is a great way to contribute to a community focused on building the digital health movement through networks, events and ideas exchange. It supports the leadership and advocacy strategy by helping us provide independent global leadership and expertise advancing health innovation.
You will also be able to grow your professional knowledge, build on your leadership skills and further your network. Those members who are also CHIAs will be able to claim five (5) points per year of service on a committee for their CPD journal for CHIA recertification.
The CoP Charter for the Institute was written at the time of the merger with terms for each nominated Committee member to ensure we could retain the corporate knowledge of the committee each year to continue driving the strategy forward.
To be eligible to sit on an AIDH CoP Committee individuals must be:
- A financial member of AIDH
- A knowledgeable and experienced subject matter expert on their relevant CoP area
- Committed to and engaged in the progression of the national digital health agenda
There are a range of vacancies across our CoPs, each of which hold a position for a two (2) year term. To nominate yourself, please read through the documentation and complete the nomination form, include your photograph and 150-word candidate statement letting Fellows and members know why they should elect you to lead their CoP and what you can bring to the digital health community by sitting on the Committee. Of these vacancies, one position will be required to be filled by a student member.
