IMIA Working Groups and Special Interest Groups (WG and SIG) are the primary mechanism through which IMIA pursues its scientific activity in specific fields of the wider domain of health and biomedical informatics. A WG or SIG comprises a group of experts with a particular interest, and its activities are reported to, and approved by, the IMIA General Assembly each year.

Each WG or SIG has a designated leadership (Chair and Vice Chair, and sometimes other officers). The Chair is the main link to the IMIA General Assembly and to the IMIA Vice President for Working Groups and Special Interest Groups.

IMIA WG/SIG: A full list of IMIA's current Working Groups (WG) and Special Interest Groups is available here. Further information on each WG and SIG is provided on a separate page linked from the list.

The current IMIA VP for WG/SIG is Dr. Hyeoun-Ae Park (Korea).
