Abstract
This chapter describes the background and current status of the AMIA 10 × 10 continuing education program. AMIA 10 × 10 is organized by the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) program in partnership with universities around the U.S. It was started in the mid 2000s with the goal of training 10,000 informaticians by 2010. It was started to address the growing need for informatics education that was not degree-based and is a model for informatics continuing education programs. The program at Oregon Health & Science University was the first 10 × 10 program and its curriculum is described in some detail to illustrate how the 10 × 10 programs are organized. The chapter concludes with a description of how the program has grown over the last seven years.
