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.

Senior Editor of UKHIT
