Biomedical Informatics Research Methods

Catalog description

The first two years are generally devoted to coursework and research. In conjunction with the course work in the first year, students rotate in 6-8 week blocks through three of the division’s participating research laboratories of the student’s choice. BIMI 7220 Research Methods allows 2 credit hours per rotation. Subsequent years focus on independent research that culminates in a dissertation. Students accepted into the BMS BMI track are required to join faculty in the Division of Biomedical Informatics and Genomics, but may consider one of other faculty outside of the Division for committee members or co-mentors (with approval of the Division Chief).
