Summer Intensive Program (Summer 2015)

This course is part of the INTREPID summer intensive program. This course is one of 3 courses given during a 3 week 30 hour class time per week intensive given to fellows starting their fellowship or research years. We  published a journal paper documenting our experiences.

 

Introduction to Clinical Informatics for Biomedical Informaticians (Fall 2014)

The focus of the course will be on areas of Biomedical Informatics relevant to clinical research in medicine and public health. Innovative methods to capture, store, and retrieve clinical and population level data as well as ways in which information systems which can support research interventions will be reviewed. We will also examine the ways in which Informatics can initiate, facilitate, and enable clinical and translational research.

 

Introduction to Biomedical Informatics for Health Professionals (Fall 2014)

The focus on this course is to introduce health professionals to the basic language of biomedical informatics. This course will include lectures on data driven healthcare, controlled vocabularies, clinical decision support, natural language processing, information retrieval, entrepreneural efforts in health IT, next generation sequencing, cancer informatics, and proteomics. One overarching goal of this course is to get health providers to think of their care in terms of the data they generate and how they can harness this information to improve care.

 

Introduction to Medicine for Biomedical Informaticians (Winter 2014)

This course bridges the gap the language gap between computer science and medicine. We designed this course to introduce non-medical/ computer science students to the practice and infrastructure of clinical medicine. Example topics include:

  • describing the billing process.
  • describing how medical providers make decisions.
  • describing the roles of services in a hospital for patient care.
  • describing the medical documentation process.

The course will include lectures discussing embryology, anatomy, histology, pathology, and disease processes with a focus on knowledge necessary for informatics based projects. The course will also cover issues regarding workflow and administrative aspects of medicine. Each student will also rotate on different services within clinical care.
