Education in medical informatics on the basis of the information technology curriculum at the Veszprém University.

Historically, medical informatics developed as an application of information technology, and, as a matter of course, is based on it even today, but with regard to its importance and growing size it can be considered more and more as an independent field of informatics. We have seen this growing independence as it became accepted in developed countries with a strengthening of the literature and institutional background of the field. There is high demand for related educational activities with both health and technical emphases. There are numerous publications and projects such as the “concerted action” EU EDUCTRA (Education and Training in Health Informatics), which began in 1992 under the supervision of the AIM (Advanced Informatics in Medicine) program [1]. It may be said that the educational requirements and the essential thematic characteristics of a health informatics program have taken shape by today. Since medical informatics applications overlap with other disciplines such as economics, management and law it is also necessary to teach such relevant subjects. In Hungary, the demand for education in medical informatics arose from the computerization of the family doctor system years ago and was significantly accelerated by a World Bank program assisting hospital informatics. According to preliminary surveys, parallel to the modernization of public health, approximately 500 to 1000 health information technologists trained at the university level will be needed in the long run to meet the requirements of the 150 Hungarian hospitals, basic health care providers, the organizations operating, supervising and managing public health (OEP, ÁNTSZ, etc.), health research, and the institutions responsible for health care development and distribution. The above estimate includes the number of experts able to occupy applicationoriented job positions, develop systems and elaborate on new methods. In practice we feel that the former should be trained in health sciences institutions of higher learning while the latter are best trained in technical universities. Obviously, it would be an advantage to coordinate the two paths of training. In the present paper we give a brief overview of the philosophy and practice of education based on the information technology curriculum at Veszprém University.
