Abstract
This book provides a comprehensive description of informatics education programs in healthcare. It includes analysis and lessons from a 40-year history in the developed countries as well as newer programs that are expanding in less well-resourced areas. From an initial focus on the development of informatics researchers who would apply their informatics and computer science knowledge and skills to the healthcare domain, we have seen more and more programs being developed for healthcare administrators, practitioners and scientists who recognize that they need informatics expertise to function within their own domain. This chapter synthesizes the lessons that have been described throughout the book.
