Medical informatics at Heidelberg/Heilbronn: status-evaluation-new challenges in a specialised curriculum for medical informatics after thirty years of evolution.

Abstract:

:After reporting on characteristics, structure and contents of the specialised informatics-based curriculum for medical informatics (MI) at the University of Heidelberg/University of Applied Sciences Heilbronn, the paper describes the development during the last 5 years, and in particular a complementary health care oriented postgraduate program in 'Health Information Management' (IM). Furthermore, it outlines results of a study among the MI graduates, which aims to assess their job situation and to evaluate the curriculum from their viewpoint and so establishes a summary of 30 years of experience with the program. Finally, the paper discusses new challenges of the program, considering the results of the study, perspectives of health care provision in the next decade, content changes to be focused on and the growing competition in the field of programs for medical informatics.
