A new benchmarking statement for biomedical informatics has been developed, defining essential skills and knowledge for students. This approach focuses on learning outcomes rather than a fixed curriculum, promoting clearer academic standards in the field.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Benchmarking statements clarify academic standards by focusing on learning outcomes.
  • No established benchmarking statement currently exists for the field of informatics.
  • A new biomedical informatics course initiated the development of a novel benchmarking statement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first benchmarking statement for biomedical informatics.
  • To define the expected skills, knowledge, and understanding for biomedical informatics students.
  • To establish a framework for comparing informatics courses based on learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed national biomedical science and computing subject benchmarking statements.

  • Examined academic educational objectives and national occupational competencies in informatics.
  • Synthesized findings to create a comprehensive benchmarking statement.

    • Main Results:

    • A twenty-item benchmarking statement for biomedical informatics has been created.
    • The statement is available online and includes definitions and justifications for each item.
    • International educational objectives and national informatics competencies were mapped to the statement.

    Conclusions:

    • Benchmarking based on skills and knowledge is potentially more effective than a standard curriculum.
    • This statement represents a foundational step in defining learning outcomes for informatics students.
    • The international informatics community should consider adopting agreed-upon subject benchmarking statements for medical, health, and biomedical informatics.
