Abstract:
In recent years, medical informatics education programs are being introduced to the curriculum of Korean medical schools. However the consensus on the necessary contents and effective methodologies of medical informatics education is not reached yet among the faculty members of medical schools. This paper reviewed medical informatics curriculum guidelines issued by the Association of American Medical Colleges (Medical Schools Objective Project II) and UK Council of Heads of Medical Schools to define the necessary contents of medical informatics education. And reviewed some articles to define ideal methodologies in medical informatics education.
