Christopher Chute

Dr. Chute received his undergraduate and medical training at Brown University, internal medicine residency at Dartmouth, and doctoral training in Epidemiology at Harvard. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, the American College of Epidemiology, and the American College of Medical Informatics. He became Head of the Section of Medical Information Resources at Mayo Foundation in 1988 and is now Professor and Chair of Biomedical Informatics. As a career scientist at Mayo, Dr. Chute's NIH and AHCPR/AHRQ funded research in medical concept representation, clinical information retrieval, and patient data repositories have been widely published. He is Vice-chair of the ANSI Health Information Standards Board, Convener of Healthcare Concept Representation WG3 within the ISO Health Informatics Technical Committee, chair-elect of the US delegation to ISO TC215 for Health Informatics, co-chair of the HL7 Terminology Committee and a past member of the NIH Medical Informatics Study Section. He has chaired International Medical Informatics Association WG6 on Medical Concept Representation since 1994.
