BioMedical Informatics Course Overview Application deadline: January 19, 2007! apply These week-long survey courses are designed to familiarize individuals with the application of information science and computer technologies in health care, biomedical research, and health professions education. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on computer exercises, participants will be introduced to the conceptual and technical components of medical informatics. The conceptual components will include principles of database design, human-computer interfaces, medical vocabularies and coding systems, medical decision analysis methods, evaluation methods in medical informatics, and strategies for designing and managing clinical information systems. The technical components include use of the Internet for biomedical applications, current and emerging wide area network technologies, use of literature and molecular sequence databases, enterprise-wide clinical data systems, and systems for telemedicine. Elective evening workshops will teach personal computer skills such as creation of World Wide Web pages, linkage of web pages to databases, and use of digital multimedia. Taught by a nationally known faculty, the course will prepare the student to become actively involved in making informed decisions about computer-based tools in his/her organizational environment, and improve the student's own computer skills. This is a National Library of Medicine fellowship program directed at medical educators, medical librarians, medical administrators, and young faculty who are not currently knowledgeable but can become agents of change in their institutions.
