Abstract

The aim of this study is to better understand the differences between medical/health informatics education in mainland China, Japan and South Korea. We compared medical/health informatics education at the top 10 universities in these three countries. Japan and South Korea have developed modernized education systems in medical/health informatics showing core features in the education of medical/health informatics. The universities in mainland China offer very few curriculum systems for medical/health informatics.

Keywords: Education; Health informatics; Medical informatics.
