Public Health Informatics Electronic Journal Club

A Section-Based CE Opportunity

PH/HA and the Medical Informatics Section of MLA jointly sponsored an electronic journal club on the topic of Public Health Informatics. The club began on September 1, 2000 and ran through the end of February 2001. Participants earned 7.5 Academy points/CE credits by reading and discussing 10 articles. Certificates were issued by the Medical Informatics Section.

MLA's Journal Club Guidelines are available at http://www.mlanet.org/education/telecon/jcguide.html. Additional resources on Public Health Informatics are now available courtesy of PHIEJC participants Carolyn Bridgewater and Kristine Alpi.
