The 10×10 International Course on Health Informatics (aka Gateway to Health Informatics Course and previously known as AMIA 10×10 Course)
The 10×10 International Course on Health Informtics is known in Singapore as the Gateway to Health Informatics (G2HI) Course. It is a distance-learning course with class-room tutorials in Singapore. Since 2009 (and until 2022), the course has been a collaboration between Gateway Consulting (conducting the classroom tutorials), Oregon Health & Science University, USA (offering the distance-learning lectures) and the American Medical Informatics Association (the Certificate Awarding Body). Under the new Course, Oregon Health & Science Univerity (OHSU), USA will be the new Certification Awarding Body.
(This is a distance-learning Course. You don’t have to be “physically present in class” except for the classroom-based Tutorials and the Final Examination. You also don’t have to worry about work scheduling conflicts because you can learn at your own pace and at your own time!)
General Information
Following the successful inaugural launch of the “Gateway to Health Informatics Course” in March 2009, Gateway Consulting Singapore , in collaboration with the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology at Oregon Health and Science University, (OHSU), USA is pleased to announce the new 10×10 International Course on Health Informatics (1010ICHI). OHSU is an accredited university and medical school in the USA and is ranked among the best medical schools in the USA.
1010ICHI provides certified training in health informatics using a teaching model that delivers lectures and course work by distance learning, augmented with classroom-based, face-to-face tutorials conducted in Singapore. Active participation in the Course online forum discussions is also encouraged.
The Course objective is to provide rigorous, broad-based training in health informatics to interested participants, especially individuals working in healthcare and healthcare-related industries, in Singapore and countries in the Asia Pacific.
The course is similar to the online BMI 510- Introduction to Biomedical Informatics class currently taught in the OHSU Biomedical Informatics Graduate program in the USA.
The Course is also similar to American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) 10×10 Course offered by OHSU which was originally developed as a partnership beween AMIA and OHSU
For students who are eligible for graduate study (i.e. have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university), completion of the 10×10 International Course on Health Informatics will also earn them 3 credit-hours that can be carried forward into the OHSU graduate programs in medical informatics or similar programs in other US universities that recognize the certificate training.
Course Faculty
The online Course is conducted by Professor William Hersh, Professor and Chair of the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology, Oregon Health & Science University, USA. Professor Hersh will also be in Singapore for the final Course tutorial to be held before the final examination.
In addition, the two classroom-based tutorials will be conducted by Professor KC Lun, former President of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and CEO, Gateway Consulting and other Singapore health informatics practitioners appointed by Gateway Consulting.
