The University of Pittsburgh proposes a five-year renewal of its training program in Biomedical Informatics. This program has grown significantly since its inception in 1987. It currently has 40 trainees, 12 of whom are supported by the training grant. Trainees seek academic degrees through one of two programs. The majority of students obtain degrees through the Biomedical Informatics (BMI) Training Program, which is offered through the School of Medicine. Most trainees study in the general BMI degree track. In addition, the program has concentrations in bioinformatics, dental informatics, health services research, library informatics, and public health surveillance for trainees with those special interests. Students with a special interest in artificial intelligence in medicine can obtain degrees through the Biomedical Informatics track of the Intelligent Systems Program (ISP). Both the BMI Training Program and the ISP offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The BMI Training Program also offers a one-year Certificate option. Since the BMI and ISP training programs are tightly linked and coordinated through their faculty and staff, for brevity we refer to them as one program below. Graduates of the program are finding excellent employment opportunities. The program is supported by an interdepartmental core faculty with 30 members, all of whom are experienced educators and active researchers. It is administered through the University's Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMI), which provides administrative support, space, and equipment for the trainees. A tightly knit leadership/administrative group of two co-directors and three very experienced staff members supports the program director in the overall operation of the program. We request 19full-time funded training positions per year for the period 2007-2012, which maintains the current number of library informatics trainees at two, maintains the number of dental informatics trainees also at two, and increases the number of "uncategorical" positions from 11 to 15. We are requesting this increase in positions in anticipation of CBMI becoming a Department of the Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) in 2006, leading to the hiring of five new faculty membersover the next five years. The larger DBMI faculty will be able to provide mentoring for the requested increase in NLM-funded trainees. We will continue to recruit students with a wide range of backgrounds and interests, with a special emphasis on recruiting trainees from disadvantaged backgrounds.

匹兹堡大学提议对其生物医学信息学培训计划进行五年续签。 自1987年成立以来，该计划已大大发展。目前有40名学员，其中12名 得到培训补助金的支持。学员通过两个课程之一寻求学位。多数 学生通过生物医学信息学（BMI）培训计划获得学位 通过医学院。大多数学员在BMI一般学位轨道上学习。另外， 计划在生物信息学，牙科信息学，卫生服务研究，图书馆中具有集中度 具有特殊利益的学员的信息学和公共卫生监视。有特别的学生 对医学人工智能的兴趣可以通过生物医学信息学获得学位 智能系统程序（ISP）。 BMI培训计划和ISP均提供M.S.和博士 学位。 BMI培训计划还提供了一年的证书选项。由于BMI和ISP培训 通过他们的教职员工与计划紧密相连和协调，因为简洁起见，我们将其称为一个 以下程序。 该计划的毕业生正在寻找极好的就业机会。该程序由 一个部门间核心教师，有30名成员，他们都是经验丰富的教育者和活跃的 研究人员。它是通过大学生物医学信息学中心（CBMI）进行管理的，该中心 为学员提供行政支持，空间和设备。紧密编织 领导/行政小组由两个联合主任和三名经验丰富的员工组成 该计划的整体操作中的计划主管。 我们要求在2007 - 2012年期间每年获得19个全天候的培训职位，该职位维持 当前的图书馆信息学受训者数量为2，还保持了牙科信息学受训者的数量 在两个处，并将“未分类”职位的数量从11增加到15。我们要求这种增加 在2006年，CBMI成为生物医学信息学（DBMI）部门的职位上， 在接下来的五年中，导致五名新教师的雇用。较大的DBMI教师将是 能够为NLM资助的学员提高要求提供指导。我们将继续招募 具有广泛背景和兴趣的学生，特别着重于从 不利的背景。
