Abstract
OBJECTIVES: There is an increasing need for a larger and better trained workforce in medical informatics. The goal of the American Medical Informatics Association 10x10 program is to educate 10,000 clinicians in medical informatics by the year 2010. METHODS: We adapted an on-line introductory graduate course toward this goal. It was evaluated using Likert-scale and open-ended questions. RESULTS: The course was successfully implemented and attracted 51 individuals, 44 of whom completed it. The evaluation was generally positive, with all but one Likert-scale above 4.0 on a 1-to-5 scale. CONCLUSIONS: We successfully adapted an introductory medical informatics course to a larger audience. The evaluation showed it was received positively and we have further plans to scale it to an even larger audience to meet the goals of the 10x10 program.
