Education has long been, and continues to be, one of the major thematic areas of the activities of IMIA, the International Medical Informatics Association.
To report on IMIA's past activities and to discuss possible future perspectives on IMIA's role on biomedical and health informatics education.
Summarizing past activities by searching in reports and publications. Making suggestions for wider discussion on possible future activities.
Since its inception, IMIA has been active in the field of education, mainly through its working group on education. Among other activities, nine working conferences have been held, many of which have resulted in publications as outcomes, which have helped to exchange knowledge on the development of high-quality health and biomedical informatics education. Recommendations on education in health and medical informatics were endorsed by IMIA in 1999, and a revised version is currently in preparation.
IMIA should continue to stimulate the exchange of knowledge on a range of aspects of health and biomedical informatics education in the countries and regions of the world, with IMIA's academic institutional members playing an increasing role. Establishing procedures for the international accreditation of high-level programs in health and biomedical informatics through IMIA is one of several areas that need to be discussed as IMIA plans and develops its future activities.
长期以来，教育一直是国际医学信息学协会（IMIA）活动的主要主题领域之一，并且仍将如此。
报告IMIA过去的活动，并探讨IMIA在生物医学和健康信息学教育方面可能的未来前景。
通过搜索报告和出版物总结过去的活动。就可能的未来活动提出建议以供更广泛讨论。
自成立以来，IMIA主要通过其教育工作组在教育领域一直很活跃。在其他活动中，已举办了九次工作会议，其中许多会议都产生了出版物成果，这有助于就高质量健康和生物医学信息学教育的发展交流知识。1999年IMIA认可了关于健康和医学信息学教育的建议，目前正在编写修订版。
IMIA应继续促进世界各国和地区在健康和生物医学信息学教育的一系列方面交流知识，IMIA的学术机构成员将发挥越来越大的作用。随着IMIA规划和开展其未来活动，通过IMIA建立健康和生物医学信息学高级课程的国际认证程序是需要讨论的几个领域之一。
