The SIIM 2008 Imaging Informatics Professional Symposium is independent of the ABII Imaging Informatics certification program, which requires a separate application.  The IIP certification program is governed by the American Board of Imaging Informatics (ABII), an independent certifying body and organization. ABII volunteers and staff are not involved in the development of any educational preparatory program. ABII and its staff are solely responsible for the policies and administration of the IIP certification program, including application deadline and eligibility requirements. To learn more about the ABII IIP certification, visit the ABII website.
