Informatics is the study of how data is acquired, stored, processed, retrieved, analyzed, and presented, in such a way as to turn data into information. This discipline is embedded throughout pathology practice and laboratory activities; however, most trainees don't realize just how much informatics they are learning as part of their routine responsibilities.

Information management is the core of pathology and laboratory medicine practice. This course will help trainees acquire the knowledge, skills, and tools that will enable them to collect, manage, use, and share information to support the delivery of accurate, high quality health care and promote optimal patient outcomes.
