NLM Training Program in Biomedical Informatics

近二十年来，W。M.凯克中心，其中跨越六个生物医学机构在大 休斯敦，得克萨斯州地区，培养了前和博士后研究员在生物医学信息学。在这里，我们寻求 更新我们的一个培训计划（NLMTP），国家医学图书馆一直支持该计划 十五年了当我们开始NLMTP时，我们预见到计算生物学将重塑 医学的重要方式，因此强调这一新兴学科的研究经验，我们 实习生既然计算生物学在生物医学中已经有了牢固的地位，在NLMTP中， 更新，我们将更加重视临床信息学，并扩大我们的重点，包括翻译 医学、公共卫生、生物安全、应用纳米技术和计算生物医学工程。在 在NLMTP中，我们将利用凯克中心在模拟和成像，统计， 以及计算生物医学、临床决策和关于生物结构的深入专业知识 和功能我们将采用招聘、选择、监督和评估受训人员的程序， 多年来在凯克中心取得了巨大的成功

For almost two decades, the W. M. Keck Center, which spans six biomedical institutions in the Greater Houston, Texas area, has trained pre- and postdoctoral fellows in biomedical informatics. Here we seek the renewal of one of our training programs (the NLMTP), which the National Library of Medicine has supported for fifteen years. When we began the NLMTP, we foresaw that computational biology would reshape medicine in important ways, and so emphasized this emerging discipline in the research experiences our trainees. Now that computational biology has a firmly established place in biomedicine, in the NLMTP renewal, we will emphasize clinical informatics more heavily and broaden our focus to include translational medicine, public health, biosecurity, applied nanotechnology and computational biomedical engineering. In the NLMTP, we will exploit the Keck Center's considerable strengths in simulation and imaging, statistical and computational biomedicine, clinical decision-making and deep expertise regarding biological structure and function. And we will employ processes for recruiting, selecting, monitoring and assessing trainees that have proved so successful in the Keck Center over the years.
