2026 OHSU Annual Update in Clinical Informatics

An Online Learning Activity from the Division of Medical Informatics, Clinical Epidemiology, and Translational Data Science, Department of Medicine

The Annual Update Course Registration and Content Start October 15, 2026

Activity Fee

For those seeking the course Certificate of Completion - $125

For physicians seeking continuing medical education (CME) credit or Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment (LLSA) credits towards American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) Maintenance of Certification Part II (MOC-II) requirements for the Clinical Informatics Subspecialty - $250

Activity and Credit

The overall goal of this activity is to provide an online continuing education update for clinical informatics and health information technology (HIT) professionals. The intended audience is those who have a clinical focus on clinical informatics and desire to learn more about the application of data analytics to clinical settings. The primary objective of the activity is to allow clinical informaticists to learn about recent advances in their professional domain in order to be more effective.

The learning activity consists of multiple modules that are estimated to take a total of 8 hours to complete. The activity is completely online, and consists of lectures and self-assessment quizzes. 

We are not able to offer OHSU academic credit for the course.

Although the course is open to all healthcare professionals and health informatics/IT professionals, physicians will additionally be able to obtain continuing medical education (CME) credit through OHSU. For physicians certified in the new Clinical Informatics Subspecialty, Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment (LLSA) credits towards American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) Maintenance of Certification Part II (MOC-II) requirements for the subspecialty will also be available.

We are committed to creating an environment of interprofessional and interdisciplinary learning.
