Medical Informatics & Medical Education
Welcome to the department of Medical Informatics and Education Homepage.
The department of medical informatics and medical education was established at NUI Galway in October 2000. The new department has two main functions. The first is to develop the existing health informatics courses within the school of medicine and to promote the application of health informatics in other disciplines. The second is to facilitate the creation of excellent learning environments for students within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. To date we have designed a new course and novel assessments for our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We have initiated a health informatics research programme and have secured funding to support the training of teachers.
