Ation of 20 school hours. In 1973 the subject at postgraduate studies “Analysis of health data by procedures of informatics and statistics” to get a duration of 20 hours it was introduced. Given that 1985, Professor Izet Masic took over the leader position and with all the support of Professor Gjuro Dezelic and Professor Arif Smajkic launched a separate course “Informatics and Economics in Health” for a total duration of 30 hours. Numbers of postgraduate students became MSc and PhD in this topic, and some of them became professors and assistants in B H universities and abroad. Considering the fact that 1992 at the Medical Faculty, University of Sarajevo there have Figure four.

Also, because some components in the health-related informatics for which they 2002 at Cathedra for Healthcare informatics the project had an affinity. A few of them have prepared papers “Distance understanding in biomedicine” is in progress which and presentations for specially organized symposiums permits students to utilize an electronic way of mastering and “B H days of informatics” held annually around the mounto pass their exams in this topic.
