Abstract
This paper describes a qualitative study of user training practices in a medical computing lab. We define training in this circumstance as, “acquisition of information in order to successfully do scientific work”. The medical computing lab is a typical scientific computing environment with a significant overlap of computing and scientific application domain expertise. The study presents a picture of the complexity of training needs in this environment. Based on the types of problems being solved and the volatility of the computing environment, we present a model of preferred training modes as observed in the study.
