The National Library of Medicine
supports research training in biomedical informatics at 18 educational
institutions in the United States. These programs offer graduate
education and postdoctoral research experiences in a wide range of areas
including: health care informatics, bioinformatics and computational
biology, clinical research translational informatics, and public health
informatics. Many programs also offer additional tracks in areas such as
imaging, dental, and library informatics. The organizations funded to do
this training are responsible for the selection of trainees; questions
about eligibility, program specifics, and levels of support should be
addressed to the programs themselves. The location and contact
information are provided below.
Each NLM informatics research training program makes special efforts to
recruit individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups,
individuals with disabilities, and those from economically, socially,
culturally or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, into careers in
biomedical informatics. In addition to full-length pre-doctoral and
post-doctoral appointments, many of NLM's training programs offer
special short-term (3 month) training appointments that are available
only to individuals from these groups. For further details, please
contact the individual training program.
