Medical Informatics Training at Yale University School of Medicine
Abstract:
The Yale Center for Medical Informatics has offered Medical Informatics training since 1986.

The paper outlines a number of areas in which such projects have been performed, describes the previous backgrounds and post-training career directions of the trainees, and discusses certain observations based on our experience with the program.
