Sažetak
Amid the digital transformation that is reshaping medicine into as yet unimaginable health care infosphere of tomorrow, one which will be populated by highly interconnected informational organisms, or inforgs [1], spanning health professionals as well as patients and decision makers—how are educational systems to respond? What knowledge and skills are going to be needed, and are they being taught [2-4]? From general population health literacy and further patient empowerment, to medical and nursing graduates’ conversance with scientific literature and electronic health records, to education with and about mHealth, artificial intelligence [5], digital governance [6], and truly harnessing the power of big data: where are we, and where are we trying to arrive? Is there consensus on how to shape the human project in the transition to the digital society, and medicine and health care within it [7]? Should, and indeed, could such a consensus exist? Do we need more national and international regulation of education and employment opportunities in biomedical and health informatics? Our panelists span Europe and varied educational and experiential backgrounds. They will explore and discuss the needs and offerings in biomedical and health informatics education in Europe, as well as where we should try to get to, and how.
