The 10x10 program of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) aims to provide introductory training to build the workforce that will enable health information technology to improve the quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of health care. Since the program was launched in 2005, over 600 people have completed the course, some going on to advanced study in the field.

The goal of the AMIA-UC 10x10 course is to provide students with a survey of the rapidly emerging field of clinical research informatics (CRI). The course will define the CRI domain and highlight key challenges and opportunities facing CRI. It will provide students with an understanding of the relationships that exist between CRI and the clinical informatics and bioinformatics domains.

In addition to defining the CRI domain and highlighting the key challenges and opportunities facing CRI, students will be exposed to key models, approaches, tools, regulatory/ethical issues and initiatives driving CRI developments and practice. The course will also provide students with an understanding of the relationships that exist between CRI and the clinical informatics and bioinformatics domains so critical to translational research. While no prerequisite course requirements will be strictly enforced for matriculation into the course, completion of CITI or equivalent training in research ethics, protection of research subjects and/or good clinical practice within the last 2 years is highly recommended as a basis for understanding clinical research ethical and regulatory principles that will be alluded to in the course but not explicitly covered.
