Abstract
Since December 2010, four Australian universities have been undertaking a research project to
examine the level and content of health informatics curricula in tertiary clinical health professional
courses. As part of this project, all Pro-Vice Chancellors, Heads of Schools and Course
Coordinators of health courses were invited to attend workshops during January-February 2012
held in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. Prior to the workshops, all participants were
provided with the Australian Health Informatics Education Council "Health informatics scope,
careers and competencies" paper, released November 2011. There were a total of 52 participants
across Australia who contributed to these workshops. As part of the workshops, participants were
required to work in small groups (13 groups in total) to identify the top five items they considered
essential for ehealth competence across all clinical health professions. For each of the five items
chosen, participants were asked to make a poster outlining examples of important and
demonstrable learning outcomes, feasible and effective teaching methods, and relevant and
meaningful assessment activities. This presentation will discuss the top 10 competencies identified
and the extent of these within current clinical health professional curricula. A brief discussion of
other findings from this project will also be provided.
