InCommon Thread Meetup – One Person, Two Worlds: Managing Identity Across Campus and Clinic

This collaborative session invites participants to share experiences and explore solutions for integrated identity management as students, faculty, and researchers move between academic and clinical environments within academic medical centers. 

Join peer community members such as university CIOs, medical identity practitioners, and IT administrators for open dialogue on navigating the complexities of cross-domain authentication. We’ll discuss real-world implementation experiences in synchronizing campus and health system credentials, strategies for balancing HIPAA and FERPA compliance with user experience, and practical next steps for harmonizing access across disparate networks. 

Come prepared to ask questions, share insights, and connect with peers facing similar challenges in academic medical environments. 

Facilitators:

Dr. Robert Howard
Vice President for Information Technology & CIO at the University of Alabama at Birmingham
