Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Over the past 30 years, the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) has played a pivotal role in fostering a collaborative community for professionals in biomedical and health informatics. As an interdisciplinary association, AMIA brings together individuals with clinical, research, and computer expertise and emphasizes the use of data to enhance biomedical research and clinical work. The need for a recognition program within AMIA, acknowledging applied informatics skills by members, led to the establishment of the Fellows of AMIA (FAMIA) Recognition Program in 2018.
OBJECTIVE: To outline the evolution of the FAMIA program and shed light on its origins, development, and impact. This report explores factors that led to the establishment of FAMIA, considerations affecting its development, and the objectives FAMIA seeks to achieve within the broader context of AMIA.
METHODS: The development of FAMIA is examined through a historical lens, encompassing key milestones, discussions, and decisions that shaped the program. Insights into the formation of FAMIA were gathered through discussions within AMIA membership and leadership, including proposals, board-level discussions, and the involvement of key stakeholders. Additionally, the report outlines criteria for FAMIA eligibility and the pathways available for recognition, namely the Certification Pathway and the Long-Term Experience Pathway.
RESULTS: The FAMIA program has inducted five classes, totaling 602 fellows. An overview of disciplines, roles, and application pathways for FAMIA members is provided. A comparative analysis with other fellow recognition programs in related fields showcases the unique features and contributions of FAMIA in acknowledging applied informatics.
CONCLUSIONS: Now in its sixth year, FAMIA acknowledges the growing influence of applied informatics within health information professionals, recognizing individuals with experience, training, and a commitment to the highest level of applied informatics and the science associated with it.

摘要：
背景：在过去的30年里，美国医学信息学协会（AMIA）在培养生物医学和健康信息学专业人员的协作社区方面发挥了关键作用。作为一个跨学科的协会，AMIA将个人与临床，研究,和计算机专业知识，并强调使用数据来加强生物医学研究和临床工作。在AMIA内部需要一个识别计划，承认成员的应用信息学技能，导致在2018年建立了AMIA（FAMIA）认可计划研究员。
目的：概述FAMIA计划的演变并阐明其起源，发展,和影响。本报告探讨了导致FAMIA成立的因素，影响其发展的考虑因素，以及FAMIA寻求在AMIA的更广泛背景下实现的目标。
方法：通过历史镜头检查FAMIA的发展，包括关键的里程碑，讨论,以及塑造程序的决定。通过AMIA成员和领导层内部的讨论，收集了对FAMIA形成的见解，包括提案，董事会级别的讨论，以及关键利益相关者的参与。此外,该报告概述了FAMIA资格标准和可用于认可的途径，即认证途径和长期体验途径。
结果：FAMIA计划引入了五个课程，共602名研究员。学科概述，角色,并提供了FAMIA成员的申请途径。与相关领域的其他同行认可计划的比较分析显示了FAMIA在承认应用信息学方面的独特功能和贡献。
结论：现在是第六个年头，FAMIA承认应用信息学在健康信息专业人员中的影响力越来越大，认识有经验的人，培训,并致力于最高水平的应用信息学和与之相关的科学。
