Summary
This study introduces a novel medical informatics curriculum framework for clinicians. It uses a biaxial model and ongoing feedback to tailor education effectively.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Practicing clinicians require specialized medical informatics training.
- Existing curricula may not adequately address diverse clinical roles and information needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a new methodology for developing a medical informatics curriculum.
- To create a flexible and responsive curriculum for practicing clinicians.
Main Methods:
- Development of a biaxial framework for curriculum organization.
- Categorization of information by application type and learner role.
- Incorporation of continuous feedback from practicing clinicians.
Main Results:
- A structured biaxial framework for medical informatics curriculum development.
- A methodology that ensures relevance and applicability to clinical practice.
- A process for iterative curriculum improvement based on user input.
Conclusions:
- The proposed methodology provides a robust approach to medical informatics education.
- The biaxial framework facilitates the creation of targeted and effective learning experiences.
- Ongoing clinician feedback is crucial for developing and maintaining a relevant medical informatics curriculum.
