The Medical Informatics education programme at the University of Cape Town was developed as part of the postgraduate education programme run by the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The aim of the programme is twofold: a) To give students a broad background in Medical Informatics, to enable them to participate in the development, planning and management of information systems to support health care in South Africa, and b) To enable them to do a research project in a specialised area, thus learning research techniques, and contributing to the development of Medical Informatics as a discipline. Students benefit from participating in a postgraduate programme in a multidisciplinary department, which is firmly linked to the health care environment. A more specialised Medical Informatics programme is planned, but the multidisciplinary nature of work in this field will continue to be emphasised.
开普敦大学的医学信息学教育项目是作为生物医学工程系研究生教育项目的一部分而设立的。该项目的目标有两个：a）让学生在医学信息学方面有广泛的背景知识，使他们能够参与支持南非医疗保健的信息系统的开发、规划和管理；b）使他们能够在一个专门领域开展研究项目，从而学习研究技术，并为医学信息学作为一门学科的发展做出贡献。学生们受益于参与一个多学科系的研究生项目，该系与医疗保健环境紧密相连。计划推出一个更专业化的医学信息学项目，但该领域工作的多学科性质将继续得到强调。
