ANNOUNCEMENT - latest UKHIT
Topic: Education, Training in Health Informatics
Dear colleagues
I'm please to announce that the latest issue of UKHIT (No 46, Spring
2005) is now available online. You will receive a printed copy with
your issue of the Journal of Health Informatics.
http://www.bmis.org/ebmit/2005_46_spring.pdf
This special issue is a celebration of education, training and
professional development in Health Informatics in the UK. Fourteen
graduates from seven different programmes report on their experiences of
studying for a graduate award. What characterises these accounts is their
wry honesty, their insights and their appreciation for having had the
opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in Health Informatics.
Although the seven programmes have different curricula and different ways
of delivering their content, there are remarkable similarities in what
these graduates have to say. We hope that their stories may inspire
others to embark on an HI award.
We are grateful to the individuals for sharing their views and to the
programme directors for putting us in touch with their former
students.
Jeannette Murphy
Senior Editor of UKHIT
