Apologies for cross posting
City University, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Leeds University have been commissioned by the UK Faculty of Health Informatics (UKFHI) to
prepare a position paper on future developments in MSc research.
The paper will be published by UKFHI and presented at a special 'think tank' event on 26 March. I am Abdul Roudsari, the lead investigator from City. Our group remit is to identify and summarise existing and best practice across Higher Education Institutions in sharing past and present HI related research within HEIs and across organisations delivering healthcare in the NHS.
This survey aims to establish the national picture in MSc Health Informatics research projects and careers. This is in order to build a knowledge repository about existing MSc projects and careers in Medical /Health Informatics, with the aim of improving the MSc research dissemination and knowledge sharing, and to help guide future students in their career path.
We would therefore like to know about every graduate’s MSc project, career situation and experiences to give a true picture of the field.
Please complete the questionnaire on
http://chivm.soi.city.ac.uk/chi-survey/
if possible before the 19 March 2009.
All replies will be treated as confidential. We hope to publish the results of the survey, and share the findings with you; all data will be completely anonymised, and only aggregate data disseminated.
As you might imagine, tracking people down after some time is not easy! I would therefore be most grateful if you would mention this survey to any previous graduates you are still in touch with.
Thanking you in anticipation
Abdul
