Based on the recommendations of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA, ) on education in health and medical informatics and on experiences in founding a new school, the University for Health Informatics and Technology Tyrol (UMIT, ), at Innsbruck, Austria, questions on education in health informatics, medical informatics, and biomedical informatics are discussed. Suggestions are made on (1). appropriate approaches for specialized educational programs in biomedical and health informatics at the university level, on (2). resources and infrastructures needed for running such programs at a high-quality level, and on (3). strategies to be considered for the future development of such educational programs. UMIT strives for an international top position in education and research. It entirely concentrates on areas in research and education in biomedicine and the health sciences. UMIT started in the academic year 2001/2002 with two educational programs. They lead to a B.Sc. degree (3 years) and a M.Sc. degree (1.5-2 years) in medical informatics. In parallel Ph.D. students work in research projects.
基于国际医学信息学协会（IMIA）关于健康与医学信息学教育的建议以及创办一所新学校的经验，奥地利因斯布鲁克的蒂罗尔健康信息学与技术大学（UMIT）对健康信息学、医学信息学和生物医学信息学教育方面的问题进行了讨论。就以下方面提出了建议：（1）大学层面生物医学和健康信息学专业教育项目的适当方法；（2）高质量开展此类项目所需的资源和基础设施；（3）此类教育项目未来发展应考虑的策略。UMIT力争在教育和研究方面占据国际领先地位。它完全专注于生物医学和健康科学的研究与教育领域。UMIT于2001/2002学年开设了两个教育项目。这些项目可获得医学信息学理学学士学位（3年）和理学硕士学位（1.5 - 2年）。同时，博士生参与研究项目。
