OBJECTIVES To examine the training needs and job satisfaction of clinical informatics professionals in Singapore public hospitals and institutions. DESIGN an anonymous online survey was disseminated by institutions' informatics leads to their respective teams. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS 53 professionals responded to the survey. About 80% of respondents agreed that informatics work was meaningful, and they were happy in their roles. Only 9% indicated they would consider leaving their jobs. Fifty-one per cent of respondents were pleased with the career development opportunities available. Forty-nine percent agreed that their organization looked after their professional growth. Fifty-three percent felt that they received sufficient training opportunities for the work they do, while 25% disagreed. The results suggest that more could be done to improve clinical informatics professional development and training in Singapore.
