Historic ACMI Biography
Dr. Sim received her bachelors in biological science and MD degrees from Stanford, and undertook residency training in internal medicine at the Massachusetts General. She returned to Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow in Medicine, and received her PhD in Medical Informatics there. She then joined the faculty of UC San Francisco, where she is associate professor of medicine and associate director of the Program in Biological and Medical Informatics. Her principal research area has been in formal methods for representing the structure and content of clinical trials, and the creation and maintenance of trial banks to support evidence-based decision making. Her work in this area led to the founding of AMIA's Global Trial bank project, and a growing international movement to represent clinical trials in a way that both the design of the trial and its results can be interpreted automatically. Her election to the College recognizes these innovations.
