Abstract
With the increase in the use of health information technology in clinical and research settings there has been increasing interest in the development of health and biomedical informatics education programs. This chapter describes the content of the book and the themes contained within it. In addition to the introductory and concluding sections, the book is divided into five sections: (1) Training Informatics Specialists in the U.S.; (2) Informatics Education for Other Health Professionals; (3) Informatics Education Worldwide; (4) Assessment of Individuals and Programs in Informatics; and (5) Use of Distance Learning for Informatics Education. The latter two sections were added as a result of the increasing focus on certification of informaticians and accreditation of informatics education programs, as well as the increasing use of online education in informatics. Common themes across chapters include the multidisciplinary basis of informatics education, the identification of informatics competencies, and the need to adapt education programs to current and future healthcare delivery and informatics needs. The book concludes with a synthesis of lessons learned.
