The Concerted Action aimed at identifying gaps in the teaching and learning of IT in medical and other health careers, and to propose and execute to ameliorate the situation. It carried out a survey of courses taught across Europe and proposed a core curriculum. A spin-off was the ELITE showcase. The state-of-the-art in education and training of health informatics in Europe was reviewed in 12 countries. On the basis of the results of the survey, guidelines for the contents of a curriculum that is meant for various groups of professionals were proposed. By defining such a European curriculum courses that have been developed according to these guidelines in one country can also be used in other countries.
