To: Dr. Harshad Thakur,
I have forwarded your message to Jennifer Briand, Educational
Opportunities Coordinator, Health Evidence and Application Linkage
Network. There is some overlap between the two fields (e.g., use
of information technology in Bioinformatics is best exemplified by
the Genome Project). We define Medical Informatics as the
discipline that studies and encourages the use of appropriate
information to support clinical care, research, teaching and health
services administration.
