Applied health informatics infrastructure is a requirement for learning health systems and it is imperative that we train a workforce that can support this infrastructure. Our department offers courses in several interdisciplinary programs with topics ranging from bioinformatics to population health informatics. Due to changes in the field and our faculty members, we sought to assess our courses relevant to applied health informatics.
In this paper, we discuss the three-phase evaluation of our program and include the survey we developed to identify the skills and knowledge base of our faculty.
We show how this assessment allowed us to identify gaps and develop strategies for program expansion.
A focus on workforce development can help to guide and focus curricular review in an interdisciplinary graduate program.
应用健康信息学基础设施是学习型健康系统的一项要求,我们必须培养一支能够支持这一基础设施的专业队伍。我们系在多个跨学科项目中开设课程,主题涵盖从生物信息学到人群健康信息学。由于该领域以及我们教员的变化,我们试图评估与应用健康信息学相关的课程。
在本文中,我们讨论了对我们项目的三阶段评估,包括我们为确定教员的技能和知识基础而编制的调查问卷。
我们展示了这种评估如何使我们能够找出差距并制定项目扩展策略。
关注专业队伍发展有助于指导和聚焦跨学科研究生项目的课程审查。
