Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 May 18:302:476-477. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230178.

Abstract

We developed the first health informatics training program in Armenia and in the Caucasus region. The training program consists of four educational pillars, including a bootcamp, an individualized training program, a capstone, and a scholarly project. We conducted surveys and qualitative interviews to evaluate the training program. With trending positive results we acknowledge that it is important to understand the landscape of health informatics and conduct needs assessment prior to establishing such a training program in an LMIC.

Keywords: Armenia; LMICs; clinical informatics; training.
