Abstract

In Peru, there are no formal university graduate programs in biomedical and health informatics, and there is a lack of other health informatics programs. AMAUTA, a joint program between the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) in Lima and the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle has been training Peruvian health professionals since 1999 regarding biomedical and health informatics. In 2007, UPCH is offering the first Graduate Diploma Program in Biomedical Informatics in the country.
