SYBB 421: Clinical Informatics at the Bedside and the Bench (Part I) (100/12970)

T 05:30-08:30 PM Aug 26-Dec 06

Miyagi, M; Patel, V

This two semester series provides students with an overview of the field of clinical informatics, focusing on the content areas outlined by the American Medical Informatics Association (Kulikowski et al. 2012); the first semester will emphasize the use of informatics in clinical settings (i.e. "the bedside"), and the second semester will emphasize the use of informatics in public health, epidemiology, and translational informatics (i.e. "the bench"). Through lectures and readings, students will learn to approach problems in clinical medicine through the lens of "informatics," the science of information, with a focus on applications over theory. As clinical informatics revolves around the development and use of electronic medical records (EMRs), students will be familiarized with EMRs through a hands-on lab simulating clinical workflows. Offered as SYBB 321 and SYBB 421.

SYBB 501: Biomedical Informatics and Systems Biology Journal Club (100/9084)

R 12:00-01:00 PM Aug 26-Dec 06

Dazard, J; Miyagi, M; Patel, V

The purpose of this journal club is to provide an opportunity for students to critically discuss a wide variety of informatics and systems biology topics and to present their works in progress. A wide range of informatics and systems theory approaches to conducting biomedical research will be accomplished through the guided selection of articles to be discussed during the club. Potential articles will be chosen from scientific journals including: Nature, Science, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Systems Biology, the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and the Journal for Biomedical Informatics. During journal presentations, trainees will be expected to lead a discussion of the article that leads to the critical evaluation of the merit of the article and its implication for biomedical informatics and systems biology. The Journal Club will also provide a forum for trainees to present proposed, on-going, and completed research. Trainees will attend and participate in the Journal Club throughout their tenure in the program. The Journal Club will meet twice a month and each trainee will be required to present one journal article and one research in progress presentation yearly. The Journal Club will also include sessions where issues related to the responsible conduct of research are reviewed and extended.
