The goal of the AMIA 10x10 Program is to train clinicians and other health care professionals in informatics to be knowledgeable participants in IT implementations in their local settings. The 10x10 program alone will not make one a full-time professional in informatics (any more than a semester of medicine or nursing will make one a doctor or nurse). The program is structured to allow those who complete the course to carry the credits forward into other graduate programs in informatics. The details will be arranged by each individual program.

Since the course is an adaptation of the introductory course in the OHSU biomedical informatics, those who complete the 10x10 course will be able to obtain credit for the course in the OHSU program. Upon enrolling in the OHSU Graduate Certificate or Master's Degree program, students will need to complete the final examination for the OHSU course and will then be awarded three credits in the OHSU graduate program. (OHSU is on an academic quarter system, with each quarter consisting of 11 weeks of instruction. A three-credit course is comparable to a course with three contact hours per week plus additional work for reading assignments, homework, and projects.) Most of OHSU's informatics courses are taught on-campus and on-line, and each course is considered equivalent whether it is taught live or via distance.

More details about the individual degree programs are available on the OHSU informatics education Web site, but the following table provides an overview of the programs.
