Introducing clinical informatics course in medical school curricula: Lessons learned from Medical Faculty University of Belgrade

Abstract

The healthcare environment in Serbia has changed dramatically over a last two decades, pointing out the necessity of clinical informatics (CI) education for future MDs. Total of 77 students were enrolled and 72 (93.5%) have successfully finished this course during 4 academic years. Mean total score for all students was 83.4 ± 9.0 points, without difference between genders. We presented blended learning module as an effective way of gaining competences in CI and recommend this course to be required for future MDs. © 2020 European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and IOS Press.
