Objectives: Education in biomedical and health informatics is essential for managing complex healthcare systems, bridging the gap between healthcare and information technology, and adapting to the digital requirements of the healthcare industry. This review presents the current status of biomedical and health informatics education domestically and internationally and proposes recommendations for future development.Methods: We analyzed evidence from reports and papers to explore global trends and international and domestic examples of education. The challenges and future strategies in Korea were also discussed based on the experts’ opinions.Results: This review presents international recommendations for establishing education in biomedical and health informatics, as well as global examples at the undergraduate and graduate levels in medical and nursing education. It provides a thorough examination of the best practices, strategies, and competencies in informatics education. The review also assesses the current state of medical informatics and nursing informatics education in Korea. We highlight the challenges faced by academic institutions and conclude with a call to action for educators to enhance the preparation of professionals to effectively utilize technology in any healthcare setting.Conclusions: To adapt to the digitalization of healthcare, systematic and continuous workforce development is essential. Future education should prioritize curriculum innovations and the establishment of integrated education programs, focusing not only on students but also on educators and all healthcare personnel in the field. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among educational institutions, academic societies, government agencies, and international bodies dedicated to systematic and continuous workforce development.

UNSTRUCTURED information technology for patient care. This viewpoint describes development of a digital health curriculum across a four-year graduate entry-to-practice dental degree. Digital health capability frameworks were selected from the literature and analysed for themes and scope to inform a detailed curricular framework, with upper bounds of desired levels of achievement in knowledge, skills and attitudes in digital health, and lower bounds representing the expected level of student knowledge on degree entry. The framework was used to derive learning outcomes across the degree, which were successfully applied to opportunities in the existing curriculum in the first year of study. Using the framework allowed for more informed curriculum decisions and more targeted and systematic alignment of learning objectives, instruction, and assessment than would have been achieved otherwise, and was especially practical for delineating the relatively new content area of digital health in dentistry.
