Abstract
Five breakout groups at the 1992 International Working Conference on H ealth/Medical Informatics Education in Heidelberg/Heilbronn compared s ix programs, located in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany. Acknowledging the difficulties in comparing programs in diffe rent countries and at different degree levels, the groups proposed fou r different schemata for distinguishing among programs. Despite widely varying approaches, there was consensus on the need for a robust mode l for health/medical informatics curricula. The viewpoint of the prese nted summaries is necessarily that of the authors.
