title: [Informatics education from the viewpoint of clinical medicine].
abstract: Teaching of medical informatics in the 1st medical faculty is compared with teaching of informatics and related curricula in European faculties. Practically in all faculties in the 1st year, a curriculum is situated with formal (mathematical, probabilistic or information and computer based) approach. From a clinical point of view there are two main reasons for situating this curriculum in the first year--it is a good basis for teaching special parts of informatics later directly in preclinical or clinical curricula and teaching informatics is a good occasion how to bring some clinical problems to the first year study and how to motivate students to the study of theoretical medicine.
