Are you ready to dive into the future of healthcare technology and its impact on nursing practice? Mark your calendars for the 2025 Doswell Health Informatics Conference, hosted by the Houston J. and Florence A. Doswell College of Nursing at Texas Woman’s University (TWU). This premier event, taking place on Friday, April 25, 2025, at TWU’s Dallas campus, promises to be a game-changer for nursing informatics professionals, clinicians, educators, and students alike. Whether you’re a seasoned informaticist or just beginning to explore the intersection of nursing and technology, this conference is your opportunity to connect, learn, and lead in an ever-evolving field.

Why Attend?

The Doswell Health Informatics Conference has earned a reputation for bringing together thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners to tackle some of the most pressing issues in healthcare. This year’s theme revolves around artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with a focus on three key areas:

1. Integrating AI into Education and Practice: Discover strategies to weave AI concepts into nursing curricula and professional training, equipping the next generation of healthcare providers with cutting-edge tools.
2. Ethical and Equity Challenges: Engage in thought-provoking discussions about the ethical considerations, equity issues, and policy frameworks shaping responsible AI use in patient care.
3. Fostering Collaboration: Connect with interprofessional peers to explore how informatics can bridge gaps, enhance leadership, and improve outcomes across healthcare settings.

Last year’s conference drew over 200 participants, and 2025 promises to be even bigger. With a lineup of keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and poster presentations, you’ll leave inspired and armed with actionable insights.
