Health Sciences Informatics Research Training Fellowship Program

描述(由申请人提供)： 对受过生物医学计算和相关领域培训的研究人员的需求越来越大，因为这些领域直接涉及应用领域，包括保健提供、基础生物医学研究、临床和转化研究以及公共卫生。根据过去4年来我们现有的信息学培训计划的经验，我们现在建议继续并扩大这一培训计划。 支持该计划的教育理念是：(1)多个专业信息学领域共享一个核心知识体系；(2)这些专业也需要专门的培训；(3)这种培训需要教学和实践；(4)每个领域仍有许多悬而未决的问题；5)每个领域都需要研究；(5)学员的学习经验通过与来自不同背景的研究员和教员的接触而得到加强。 拟议的计划包括所有专业的核心计划，以及可选的公共卫生和健康图书馆管理轨道。所有学员共有的课程包括：指导研究，五门必修课程(健康科学信息学应用；健康科学信息学数据、信息、知识；健康科学信息学评估；决策支持和基于知识的系统；健康科学信息学安全、保密和隐私)，最多两门使能课程(一般在数据库和网络方面)，人类学科研究(研究方法；研究伦理学)；培养信息学身份的课程(定向、研究员研讨会、正在进行的研究)；各种选修课；以及必需的实践和指导研究。公共卫生课程包括三门额外的课程：公共卫生信息学、公共卫生数据标准和公共卫生与国家卫生信息网。整个健康科学校园和整个大学的教职员工都可以提供研究指导。Practia在整个巴尔的摩-华盛顿地区的学术、公共和私营部门都有提供。 目前的计划授予健康科学信息学理学硕士学位。公共卫生课程包括：公共卫生信息学、公共卫生数据标准、公共卫生和国家卫生信息网。健康图书馆课程包括来自韦尔奇医学图书馆的图书馆员的指导。作为我们在公共卫生信息学方面的持续兴趣的一部分，我们正在追求信息学方面的联合博士/硕士学位。个人有机会追求对生物信息学和临床研究信息学的兴趣。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a growing need for investigators who are trained in biomedical computing and related fields as they directly relate to application domains, including health care delivery, basic biomedical research, clinical and translational research and public health. Based on our experience with our existing Informatics Training Program over the past 4 years, we are now proposing to continue and expand this training program. The educational philosophy that undergirds this Program is that (1) there is a core body of knowledge that is shared by multiple domains of profession-based informatics; (2) specialized training is also needed in these professions; (3) this training requires didactic and practical exposure; (4) many unanswered questions remain in each domain; 5) research is needed in each domain and (5) trainees' learning experience is enhanced by contact with fellows and faculty from a wide variety of backgrounds. The proposed program comprises a core program for all specialties, with optional public health and health librarianship tracks. The program common to all trainees consists of the following: Mentored research, five required courses (Health Sciences Informatics Applications; Health Sciences Informatics Data, Information, Knowledge; Health Sciences Informatics Evaluation; Decision Support and Knowledge-based Systems; and Health Sciences Informatics Security, Confidentiality, and Privacy), up to two enabling courses (generally in databases and networking), courses in human subjects research (Research Methods; Research Ethics); offerings to foster an informatics identity (Orientation, Fellows Seminar, Research in Progress); a variety of elective course; and required practica and mentored research. The Public Health Track includes three additional courses: Informatics in Public Health, Data Standards in Public Health, and Public Health and the National Health Information Network. Mentoring for research is available from faculty throughout the health sciences campus and the University as a whole. Practica are available throughout the Baltimore-Washington area in academic, public, and private sector locations. The current program confers a Masters of Science in Health Sciences Informatics. The Public Health Track includes the courses: Informatics in Public Health, Data Standards in Public Health, and Public Health and the National Health Information Network. The Health Librarianship Track includes mentoring by librarians from the Welch Medical Library. We are pursuing a joint DrPH/MS in informatics as part of our ongoing interests in public health informatics. Individual opportunities exist for pursuing interests in bioinformatics and clinical-research informatics.
