SNOMED CT Foundation Course Guide

2. About the Course

The SNOMED CT Foundation Course provides an introduction to a broad range of SNOMED CT related topics, including the why, what and how of SNOMED CT. 

This course is designed for people with a general interest in SNOMED CT, and for those considering how SNOMED CT can add value to their organization and/or their products and services. The course also serves as a starting point on which to build additional knowledge. Further knowledge can be acquired formally through SNOMED International's more advanced SNOMED CT courses, or informally by following references from course materials or attending events held by SNOMED International and its national Member organizations. 

This course is a prerequisite for the more advanced courses offered by SNOMED International.
