Abstract
Clinical informatics is the discipline that results from the intersection between computers and medicine. According to the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), those who practice this art “transform health care by analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems that enhance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship”.

In the past, most states would grant licenses to doctors who had licenses in other states as part of a process called reciprocity. At this point, the only state that still has reciprocity is Michigan. Some states, such as New Mexico will grant short term Endorsements which allow physicians to practice in the state, but only under certain circumstances.
