Pittsburgh Biomedical Informatics Training Program

自1998年以来，匹兹堡生物医学信息学培训计划(BMITP)提供了 在生物医学的挑战性问题中应用计算机的高级培训。在……里面 除了我们悠久的历史之外，我们的计划还以不断演变而闻名，我们的计划 高度协作的研究环境和来自加州大学的强有力的机构支持 匹兹堡和匹兹堡大学医学中心(UPMC)。BMITP位于 皮特医学院生物医学信息学系。DBMI提供了 空间、设备和财务支持，用于培训计划管理、教师和 实习生。BMITP的核心教职员工39人，其中包括19名小学教师 DBMI中的约会。BMITP由计划主任和副主任领导， 一位经验丰富的项目管理员和一个由教员联席主任组成的领导小组的帮助。 匹兹堡生物医学信息学培训计划提供以下方面的研究培训 翻译生物信息学，医疗保健/临床信息学，成像信息学，临床 研究信息学和公共卫生信息学。学员攻读硕士或博士学位 生物医学信息学或通过智能系统的生物医学信息学轨道 该项目设在皮特的计算与信息学院。我们还培养医学博士/博士研究生 通过匹兹堡大学的医学科学家培训计划。博士后实习生 从事高级研究，目标是制定研究计划并提供资金 将支持他们向独立过渡的应用程序。在这两所学校开设了各种各样的课程 匹兹堡大学和卡内基-梅隆大学对所有学员开放。 在过去的五年里，我们修改了我们的课程，我们的招生程序，以及 我们的初试和综合考试。我们还扩展了我们的数据科学产品 并加强了我们与少数族裔服务机构的外联努力。我们未来五年的计划 这些年包括进一步加强我们的评价工作和我们努力招聘不同的 实习生，以加强指导，扩大实习机会范围，以 培训学员，并使用我们简化的评估来帮助学员高效地达到里程碑 并及时完成学位。 我们在培养成功的生物医学信息学研究人员方面有着良好的记录， 他们中的许多人后来成为该领域的领导者。我们项目中的实习生发布 在高影响力期刊上发表的研究论文，因其研究而获得国家奖，成功 竞争NIH的资金，并确保在学术界、工业界和政府的研究职位。

Since 1998, the Pittsburgh Biomedical Informatics Training Program (BMITP) has provided advanced training in the application of computing to challenging problems in biomedicine. In addition to our long history, our program is notable for continuous evolution of our programs, a highly collaborative research environment, and strong institutional support from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). BMITP is housed in the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) in Pitt’s School of Medicine. DBMI provides, space, equipment, and financial support for training program administration, faculty, and trainees. BMITP’s core faculty of 39 members, including the 19 faculty members with primary appointments in DBMI. BMITP is led by the Program Director and Associate Director, with the help of an experienced program administrator and a leadership group of faculty co-directors. The Pittsburgh Biomedical Informatics Training Program offers research training in translational bioinformatics, health care/clinical informatics, imaging informatics, clinical research informatics, and public health informatics. Trainees seek MS or PhD degrees in either Biomedical Informatics or through the Biomedical Informatics Track of the Intelligent Systems Program, housed in Pitt’s School of Computing and Information. We also train MD/PhD students through the University of Pittsburgh’s Medical Scientist Training Program. Postdoctoral trainees undertake advanced research, with the goal of developing research programs and funding applications that will support their transition to independence. A broad variety of courses at both the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University are available to all trainees. During the past five years, we have revised our curriculum, our admissions processes, and our preliminary and comprehensive exams. We have also expanded our data science offerings and increased our outreach efforts with minority serving institutions. Our plans for the next five years include further strengthening of our evaluation efforts and our efforts to recruit diverse trainees, to enhance mentoring, to expand the range of internship opportunities available to trainees, and to use our streamlined evaluations to help trainees productively reach milestones and complete their degrees in a timely manner. We have a strong track record of training successful biomedical informatics researchers, many of whom have gone on to be leaders in the field. Trainees in our programs publish research articles in high-impact journals, win national awards for their research, successfully compete for NIH funding, and secure research positions in academia, industry, and government.
