Abstract:

Five breakout groups at the 1992 International Working Conference on Health/Medical Informatics Education in Heidelberg/Heilbronn compared six programs, located in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany. Acknowledging the difficulties in comparing programs in different countries and at different degree levels, the groups proposed four different schemata for distinguishing among programs. Despite widely varying approaches, there was consensus on the need for a robust model for health/medical informatics curricula. The viewpoint of the presented summaries is necessarily that of the authors.
