Education working groups and course lists of the EFMI national member societies.

Education working groups of EFMI member societies

EFMI brings together national societies for medical and health informatics. Many of them have their own group or committee on education. This table links to them, so teachers can find colleagues in their own country.

Society list from efmi.org (October 2026). Education groups were searched on each society's website and in the literature in October 2026; “no dedicated group found” means we did not find one, not that it does not exist. National representatives: please send us the link to your society's education group or course list. Contact the WG.

Outside Europe: see Education groups worldwide (IMIA and its other regions).
