Congratulations go out this morning to Dr. Bill Hersh and his colleagues at
OHSU as one of the recipients of the HHS award for the "Curriculum
Development Centers Program" and the "Assistance for University-Based
Training Program" for Health IT.  You can read more about the award in the
article below posted by Carolyn Bloch in today's issue of *Federal
Telemedicine News*.

The success of telemedicine is intertwined with the success of health IT.
Neither will flourish without the robust programs and curricula that will be
developed by these grant recipients.

Dr. Hersh, you have been a long-time supporter of TAO, and we are very proud
to count you among our members.  We look forward to hearing more about your
work on these projects.

Nice work!!

 HHS Awards $144
Million<http://telemedicinenews.blogspot.com/2010/04/hhs-awards-144-million.html>
 HHS just announced two sets of awards totaling $144 million. The first set
for $84 million went to 16 universities and junior colleges to support
training and development for more than 50,000 new Health IT professionals.
In addition, the second set for $60 million is going to support research and
innovation at four advanced research institutions. Both award programs are
being funded by the Recovery Act.

Of the $84 million, $36 million will go towards supporting the "Community
College Consortia Program" to help five regional recipients establish a
multi-institutional consortium within each region. The five regional
consortia will include 70 community colleges and will create non-degree
training programs that can be completed in six months or less by individuals
