An environmental scan to identify what exists, the trends, and the potential gaps across Canada in medical curricula, core competencies, policies and other activities related to e-health in undergraduate medical education in Canadian faculties of medicine was undertaken and published in 2012. The environmental scan includes: a literature review; key informant interviews with undergraduate deans of medical education and one e-health or informatics expert at each of the faculties of medicine; and an online survey of informaticians, faculty members who are integrating e-health in their programs, staff/faculty at the undergraduate curriculum office, and other staff members such as informatics coordinators at the 17 faculties of medicine in Canada
