Introduction to Biomedical and Health Informatics The Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) at Oregon Health & Science University will be offering another Biomedical Informatics Distance Learning Course as part of the AMIA 10x10 Program. The OHSU offering of 10x10 was the original offering in the program and has had the largest enrollment. The 10x10 program gets its name from its original goal when launched in 2005 of educating 10,000 healthcare and related professionals in biomedical and health informatics by 2010. The goal of 10,000 individuals came from an assertion by former AMIA President Dr. Charles Safran that the United States needed at least one physician and one nurse trained in medical informatics in each of the country's 6,000...
