Dear ELAG members

Happy New Year

We are pleased to announce we have created and launched a new learning pathway

The pathway was developed with review from the Translation User Group

This short education pathway introduces SNOMED CT to Translators and covers the common requirements to understanding SNOMED CT. It incorporates e-learning content from pre-existing courses

By completing this pathway a learner will have the basic SNOMED CT knowledge that a translator may require in performing translation. This will help anyone who is starting on their SNOMED translation journey

Free registration is available in our course catalogue https://courses.ihtsdotools.org/product?catalog=TRA
