The University of Cincinnati is offering a new course to prepare future health care professional to use advanced computing and statistical techniques. The new health care informatics curriculum, designed in partnership with the American Medical Informatics Association, involves using biomedical and health informatics methods and systems to plan, conduct and distribute the results of clinical research.
The course will "focus on the concepts central to the important and rapidly developing area of clinical research informatics," says Dr. Peter Embi, director of the UC Center for Health Informatics, who will lead the program. Embi says the curriculum will offer students the training "to serve as champions in local health care, research and industry settings." The course will be offered beginning in January.
