Special Topics in Biomedical and Health Informatics

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide an in-depth look at topics that are of essential importance in biomedical informatics. Each topic will be arranged into thematic modules which will occur in consecutive weeks in the class schedule, with the intention that each module becomes its own "mini-course". The topics for each module may rotate from semester to semester, based on these criteria: Historical importance to the current field of biomedical informatics research and/or practice; Cutting-edge developments in biomedical informatics; Topics not covered in depth in BMIN 5010 ; Consensus of the program leadership and teaching faculty. It is recommended that students have completed BMIN 5020 and BMIN 5030 prior to enrolling in this course. NOTE: Non-majors need permission from the instructor.
