Abstract
The AC2 Committee was funded by EFMI (European Federation for Medical Informatics) in order to create and suitably modify a database of educational programs across Europe since study programs in the vast fields of Biomedical and Health Informatics, Medical Informatics and Health Technology is continuously growing during the recent years. This initiative aims at the creation of an on-line catalogue that would provide information about European programs and courses in Biomedical and Health Informatics in order to support the promotion and provision awareness of the educational initiative to the wider biomedical and health informatics community in Europe and worldwide. A great variety of curricula with specialization in Biomedical and Health Informatics (BMHI), Medical Informatics, Medical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at European Universities are offered at any academic level. For this reason, the AC2 Accreditation and Certification initiative is supported by EFMI to find and present all necessary elements in appropriate way in order to implement the Accreditation and Certification process on education in biomedical informatics, health informatics, medical informatics and the other related fields in Europe.
