Abstract:
We describe a web-based system that enables an individual to assess him/her self against the set of competencies required for a variety of roles in the area of Applied Health Informatics (AHI). The competencies themselves were developed by a multi-disciplinary team under the auspices of the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR), and include the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to fulfill specific roles as an applied health informatician. Both textual and graphical information is presented to the user and potential mechanisms for correcting competency gaps are presented in this online interactive system.
