Course Overview
The program explores techniques for assessing current information practices, determining the information needs of health-care providers and patients, assisting in molecular biology and genomic research, developing interventions using computer technology, and evaluating the impact of those interventions. The specific goals of the program are: to teach the fundamentals of biomedical informatics through formal course work and to enable the student to gain proficiency in several defined areas, including physiology, computer science, biostatistics, experimental design, and evaluation methodology related to medical informatics; to provide a structured research experience that includes development of a research proposal, execution of the research project, evaluation of the outcome of the project, and the preparation of written documents describing the project's accomplishments; to offer students experience in learning the necessary domain knowledge and communication skills to conduct collaborative research with faculty in clinical and basic medical science departments; to aid the students in implementing innovative solutions to real-world problems, by testing explicit hypotheses about the effectiveness and utility of information systems in medical care, research, or teaching.
