For the medical and public health IT training, in Iran, et al. noted for the “challenges and the drawbacks of the health information management (HIM) curriculum”.[3] Here, the authors summarize the expert comments on the new medical IT curriculum, which aims at public health promotion from Thailand. In fact, medical IT worker is a new group of medical worker that plays an important role in media communication in the hospital as well as in continuous education.[4] The training of the medical IT becomes the urgent need to correspond to the rapid blooming of IT in medical society.
