Hi!

I am a pediatric nurse. I am back in school for my Bachelor's degree. I am taking a course called Nursing Informatics and thougt this would be a great place to learn about informatics  outside of my course work.

Nice to meet you!

Hi Everbody,

I am studying medical informatics master. I graduated from computer education and instructional technology department, but I decided to continue my education with medical informatics. Currently, I am studying on mobile health applications, specifically for patient with diabetes. 

I am looking to learn about what is going on with the health informatics in other countries and educational opportunities of health informatics. That's why I've registered for this forum. 

I wish you all a healthy life.

I am a M.B.Ch.B Medical Doctor from Nigeria. I am very interrested in health informatics and hope to start up an EMR vendor in Nigeria, with its over 2000 hospitals and clinics..I hope my country is ready, as she can't boast of constant power suply and there is low computer literacy. However, I am tired of the poor flow of patient care, the many human errors, the redundancy and the lack of records. So I want to know as much as I need to get a team together to bring automation to healthcare in Nigeria. If you want to help, join me!

Hi everyone,

I moved to New Zealand to do my PhD at the University of Auckland last year. I'm interested in eHealth innovations and the change they bring about in the health systems. My BSc is in Biomedical engineering and I took my Master in IT systems, where I became interested in eHealth and health informatics.

Regards,

Elica

Hi everyone,

I am currently a student working towards my Bachelor of Science in Health Information Technology at the University of Victoria, B.C, Canada. I have taken two years of general science and one year of Health Informatics, and I am currently taking some summer classes. 

As someone recently introduced to this area of study, does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom?

I also was wondering if anyone could tell me about the different directions I could go in terms of employment? I would prefer something with some biology/science involved.

Thanks!
