CPH738-010:

Tools and Application in Biomedical Informatics
(M, W, F: 12p-1:15p)

MDS 220 (for Lectures) MDS221 (for Labs)

Note: You can take this class for one credit or sit-in is welcome!

Target Audience
This is a HRSA and CTSA sponsored program directed at translational scientists, clinical researchers, medical educators, medical librarians, medical administrators, and young faculty who are not currently knowledgeable but can become agents of change in their research, education, and clinical practice. You can take the class for credit or non-credit. For non-credit, please let us know which session(s) that you are interested in, so that we can arrange lunch for you.

Course description
This summer survey course is designed to familiarize individuals with the application of computer technologies and information science, called Digital Methodologies, in the biomedical and health sciences. Through a combination of lectures, readings, and hands-on computer exercises, participants will be introduced to the conceptual and technical components of biomedical informatics. Taught by a team of UK faculty members, the course will prepare the student to become actively involved in making informed decisions about computer-based tools and digital methodologies in his/her work environment, and improve the student’s own computer skills in biomedical research and practice.

Lectures (Individual Flyers with Presenter Information will be circulated)
