Becoming an AMIA 10x10 Partner
Click here to see our current list of partners
AMIA is interested in proposals from qualified institutions.
AMIA invites educational institutions to partner with AMIA in support of AMIA's 10x10 program.
The goal of AMIA's 10x10 program is to train 10,000 professionals in the key tenets of medical informatics to assure that the potential of information technology in health care is realized. AMIA recognizes that while the development of information technology holds great promise, the development of a workforce that can make best and appropriate use of technologies in clinical and other settings is a critical requirement.
AMIA requests proposals from institutions with a proven ability to deliver a high quality educational experience. The guidelines for a 10x10 course are that:
- It should be approximately equivalent in workload and sophistication to 3-credit graduate course
- It should be delivered primarily via distance learning techniques, although it should have some face-to-face component as well
- It should provide instruction on a topic that is aligned with AMIA's mission.
AMIA expects that many of the 10x10 offerings will focus on applied clinical informatics. Sufficient numbers of individuals who are experienced in applied clinical informatics will be critical if the nation is to implement electronic health records applications on a broad scale and to assure that these systems are used in a way that addresses the cost, quality and access problems that vex health care. However, applications for offerings that have a focus other than applied clinical informatics also are welcomed.
AMIA is committed to a high level of quality in its educational activities and seeks partners that are similarly committed. As part of the 10x10 program AMIA will survey the students that complete the 10x10 courses. AMIA expects that the partner organizations will do internal evaluations as well.
Applications are reviewed by AMIA's 10x10 Course Review Committee. Oversight of AMIA's 10x10 Program is provided by AMIA's 10x10 Steering Committee, which reports to the AMIA Board of Directors.
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact Vice President of Education, Jeffrey J. Williamson. We look forward to receiving your application.
