Jacob Krive awarded American Medical Informatics Association fellowship
Jacob Krive, clinical associate professor in BHIS, is one of 87 new fellows to be inducted into the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA). The 2025 class will join 579 current AMIA fellows in a formal induction ceremony at the AMIA 2025 Clinical Informatics Conference in Anaheim, California on May 20-22, 2025.
“AMIA recognizes individuals that apply informatics skills and expertise to advance health and well-being,” said Kal Pasupathy, head of BHIS. “Dr. Krive has been instrumental in accomplishing this through his research, teaching, service and faculty practice work. He absolutely deserves this recognition and I’m proud of his accomplishment.”
Krive’s research interests include clinical decision support systems, cloud computing for medical research, patient data management, artificial intelligence and the economics of health informatics. He has designed several courses for BHIS graduate programs, co-designed an elective AI course for College of Medicine students and founded a cardio-oncology AI research lab.
“I am honored to receive this AMIA fellowship award,” Krive said, “which recognizes deep expertise in medical informatics, but more importantly my decades of service to the field from multiple angles — professional in the health care provider space, scholarly via research contributions and teaching by leading hundreds of students in becoming new generations of talented analysts and informaticists. I am also appreciative of the UIC campus, AHS college leadership and my BHIS department for being my academic home for the past 12 years and encouraging me to think, innovate and share my knowledge.”
