Take part in our survey on BMHI education
Help us map biomedical and health informatics (BMHI) education across Europe and see how programmes use the IMIA recommendations. The survey has 27 questions and is open to anyone who teaches or coordinates BMHI education. Data collection is still open: the slides above show the pilot results.
