       'Some physicians might feel like the process of buying and implementing a new electronic medical record system is so complex that a formal education is required.It turns out you can get one.Several organizations have developed EMR curriculums to help physicians and health care organizations acquire the education needed to buy and install systems with confidence. The supply and demand for these training programs is growing because of increased pressure on physicians to adopt EMRs and the passing of a stimulus package that offers incentives to do so.Some programs are being offered by independent companies, while others are being offered by EMR vendors.'),
