For Medical Informatics graduates, there is no compatibility between the training knowledge and skills at universities and the job requirements. This study aimed to determine the skills and competencies requirements for medical informatics graduates and possible job positions in an emerging discipline. This qualitative study was conducted using a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Nine independent medical informatics professionals assessed the initial draft of this tool to determine its face and content validity, and reliability. The questionnaire was distributed among 80 medical informaticians with a doctorate or a master's degree. In this study, items with an average of 4 and higher were confirmed; out of the 78 items, 66 were approved. The highest number of unapproved items was related to managerial knowledge and skills. Research knowledge, training skills, individual skills, technical capacities, specific skills in the health industry, and managerial skills are the main areas that graduates must learn. This survey can help develop a curriculum and job descriptions for medical informatics.
对于医学信息学专业的毕业生来说,大学所提供的培训知识和技能与工作要求之间没有兼容性。本研究旨在确定医学信息学毕业生所需的技能和能力要求,以及新兴学科中的可能工作岗位。这项定性研究使用研究人员开发的问卷进行。九位独立的医学信息学专业人员评估了该工具的初始草案,以确定其表面效度和内容效度以及可靠性。问卷分发给了 80 名具有博士或硕士学位的医学信息学家。在这项研究中,平均得分为 4 分及以上的项目得到了确认;在 78 个项目中,有 66 个得到了批准。未获批准的项目数量最多的与管理知识和技能有关。研究知识、培训技能、个人技能、技术能力、医疗行业的特定技能和管理技能是毕业生必须学习的主要领域。这项调查可以帮助制定医学信息学的课程和工作描述。
