Education in Medical Informatics in the Undergraduate Medical Curriculum: A Review

  • Conference paper
Medical Informatics Europe ’90

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Medical Informatics ((LNMED,volume 40))

Abstract

In the UK, ‘over #100 million a year .... Is being spent on information technology in the NHS, and it is evident that not enough is being done to train .... personnel to take full advantage of the developing systems and the information they can produce’[1]. A survey of heads of clinical divisions in Scotland showed that lack of experience in informatics was one of the main reasons for the slow progress in clinical computing [2]. In the theme of this conference, education in medical informatics (Ml) should indeed add value to the health of the UK.
