MED264: Principles of Biomedical Informatics
Instructor: Tsung-Ting Kuo, PhD,
Teaching Assistants: Grace Yufei Yu and Aaron Boussina
When: Fall 2023 -- -- Courses will be offered in-person on Mondays from 3:30 to 5:30 pm and Thursdays from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at BRF-II 5A03.
Office Hours: by appointment
Course Objectives: The purpose of this class is to provide an engaging and lively introduction to the field of biomedical informatics. Building up from the basic bits of data to modeling complex organisms and organizations, the course will explore the nature of biomedical information and how this information is and can be used in the care of individual patients and populations. We highlight practical and state-of-the-art technologies in biomedical informatics to get students exposed to the current healthcare research environment.
