Rapid advancements in biotechnologies and health information technology have transformed the landscape of healthcare data generation and utilization. The widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), wearables and smart devices, and social media platforms has produced an unprecedented volume and variety of health-related data. Effectively harnessing these rich data sources requires a workforce skilled in managing, analyzing, and interpreting complex health information to improve care delivery, research, and decision-making. Consequently, the demand for well-trained Health Informatics (HI) professionals and researchers has grown sharply. To meet this need, many new HI education programs have emerged in the past decade. Broadly defined, health informatics covers diverse fields such as medical informatics, data science, health information management, public health informatics, nursing informatics, dental informatics, pathology informatics, health care administration, and other related domains.

Submissions will centre on the following themes, while also considering additional relevant topics: hi education research, education program development, pedagogy for hi education and challenges in hi education.
