Clinical Research Informatics Track

Clinical Research Informatics Application Track

teaches knowledge, theories, and skills needed to accelerate the generation of new knowledge across the translational research spectrum and to perform research in precision medicine. Students are required to demonstrate competency in

  • informatics methods required for utilizing biomedical data for research,

  • methods for data collection, integration, modeling, and quality, as well as for streamlining analytic processes, development of infrastructure, and decision support for research,

  • developing novel computational methods for information extraction, retrieval, and knowledge discovery as applicable to research (e.g. phenotyping), and

  • developing novel informatics methods that advance the practice of research (e.g., recruitment, reproducibility of research)

Practicum

Sign up for at least one practicum to gain hands-on experience and work with a team on a project.

Global Health Informatics

This is a hands-on, project based course with interdisciplinary experience in informatics activities in global health projects or resource-limited organizations and agencies. Integration of informatics content, skills, and role expectations is emphasized. Students will collaborate with global health partners in multi-disciplinary teams and synthesize informatics course content and apply to actual project/ site issues. Students interested in applying informatics methods or developing informatics methods for global health problems will find this of interest.
