Abstract
The authors have been engaged in information science education for medical technologist training in a medical technology school. Up to the present, information science has not always been an indispensable part of learning for paramedics in Japan. However, along with the recent progress and technological advances in medical test equipment, as well as the promotion of electronic medical recording systems and online receipt of remuneration for medical services as solutions to the insufficient number of physicians and their increased workload, the importance of information science and technology, including PC and Tablet computer operations, has been growing. In line with
this, the recent paramedic licensing examinations have included content related to information science. This paper discusses information science education for effective clinical practice.
