title = "Competencies and Curricula Across the Spectrum of Learners for Biomedical and Health Informatics",
abstract = "The field of biomedical and health informatics has taken its rightful place in the development and evaluation of methods and systems that aim to help those working in health, healthcare, public health, and biomedical research fields to optimally use data, information, and knowledge to improve human health. In the current century, competencies and curricula have been developed and have matured not only for informaticians but also clinicians, researchers, and patients/consumers. This paper provides an overview of the history and evolution of efforts around the world, interspersing history from the field with the author's own personal journey.",

note = "Funding Information: time. I began advocating for informatics training for medical students in the 1990s, and was even appointed to the medical school curriculum committee by one Dean to facilitate it, but little headway was made until the arrival of a new Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education around 2012. This Senior Associate Dean was supportive of innovation and change, and funding by an Accelerating Change in Education (ACE) grant from the American Medical Association (AMA) opened the door to add informatics. (New medical school curricular leaders tend to blow up existing curricula when they come make way for change, and this helped as well.) Once the door was opened, a half-dozen informatics faculty came together and developed a set of competencies for medical education,[10,38] the curriculum teaching them,[39] and noting the challenges.[40] The current set of competencies in CI for medical students (or really all health professions students) include: Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2022 The authors and IOS Press.; International Symposium on Achievements, Milestones, and Challenges in Biomedical and Health Informatics, BMHI 2022 ; Conference date: 29-10-2022",
