Evaluating the AMIA-OHSU 10x10 program to train health care professionals.

There is an increasing need for a larger and better trained workforce in medical informatics. The goal of the AMIA 10x10 program is to educate 10,000 clinicians in medical informatics by 2010. Building upon a previously developed course, a 12 week graduate informatics course was adapted with 170 people completing the course by spring 2006. This research aims to evaluate, via qualitative methods, program satisfaction, as well as future career and/or education paths of participants.
