Objectives
|
As the use of information technology increases, physicians and students are largely left to learn on their own how to make use of them. In this course, we will provide an overview of informatics competencies that will be necessary for their future activities such as decision support, electronic health records, quality measurement and improvement, personal health records, and personalized medicine.
|
|
Content

This 2 credit course will prepare students to use computers and information systems to their full extent during residency and in practice.

|
Evaluating
