This week-long survey course is designed to familiarize individuals
with the application of computer technologies and information science
in biomedicine and health science. Through a combination of lectures
and hands-on computer exercises, participants will be introduced to the
conceptual and technical components of biomedical informatics. The
conceptual components will include principles of database design,
human-computer interfaces, medical terminologies and coding systems,
medical decision analysis methods, clinical information systems
architectures, and methods for measuring costs and benefits in health
care systems. The technical components will include use of the Internet
for biomedical applications, current and emerging wide area network
technologies, use of literature and molecular sequence databases, and
systems for telemedicine. Evening workshops will teach personal
computer skills in using a variety of World Wide Web-based technologies.
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. Limited to 30 fellows per session.
