Clinical Informatics Board Review: Notes and Questions

A Note on the 2025 Edition

The 2024 edition of this book turned out to be more popular than I ever imagined. I’ve heard stories of people passing the CI board exam using just this book—which is both humbling and motivating. I also received valuable feedback: some key concepts weren’t emphasized enough, while others got lost in plain text.

So, for this new edition, I’ve simplified the content, added more questions to highlight critical ideas, and made sure essential concepts don’t get buried. Good luck, and happy studying!
