Vanderbilt Biomedical Informatics Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：范德比尔特大学提出了一个为期五年的更新其生物医学信息学培训计划。该计划始于2001年，提供生物医学信息学硕士和博士学位，以及非学位博士后和短期培训经验。该计划经历了高质量的申请人稳步增长，目前有超过25名学员，其中包括16名博士前和博士后学生由我们的NLM培训补助金资助，现在已经进入第九个年头。培训计划的行政家，生物医学信息学系（DBMI），也同样增长-在教师，资源和生产力-成为广泛认为是全国顶级信息学计划之一。范德比尔特大学医学中心和弗吉尼亚州田纳西流域医疗保健系统的信息丰富的环境提供了“动手”的培训经验，是典范。硕士和博士学位课程包括生物医学信息学课程的核心课程和计算机科学，生物医学和研究方法的基础学科。攻读学位的学生集中学习几个应用领域之一：临床信息学，翻译生物信息学和临床研究信息学（发展中）。我们继续提供研究密集型非学位博士后奖学金。在2012- 2017年期间，范德比尔特要求每年提供15个全职培训职位（9个博士前和6个博士后）和4个短期培训职位。通过Meharry-Vanderbilt联盟，我们将继续招募寻求生物医学信息学培训的Meharry学生，毕业生和居民，并将招聘工作扩大到其他机构代表性不足的少数民族。在范德比尔特信息学独特的丰富和培育环境是该机构的高层领导的共同愿景的结果超过20年，数据，信息和知识的有效管理将是竞争优势的大学及其医疗中心在本世纪。在这个独特的生物医学信息学教育环境中，我们的首届学生小组在开发新知识方面表现出色，这些新知识将信息学作为一门科学学科。他们是最有力的证据表明，范德比尔特生物医学信息学计划已经达到了NLM的生物医学信息学研究人员培训的目标，并将继续这样做。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vanderbilt University proposes a five-year renewal of its Biomedical Informatics Training Program. Begun in 2001, the program offers MS and PhD degrees in Biomedical Informatics, as well as nondegree postdoctoral and short-term training experiences. The program has experienced steady growth in high quality applicants and currently has more than 25 trainees, including 16 predoctoral and postdoctoral students funded by our NLM training grant, now in its ninth year. The Training Program's administrative home, the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), has likewise grown - in faculty, resources, and productivity - to become widely regarded as among the top informatics programs nationally. The informatics-rich environments of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System provide "hands on" training experiences that are exemplary. The MS and PhD degree programs include a core curriculum of courses in biomedical informatics and the foundation disciplines of computer science, biomedicine, and research methodology. Degree- seeking students pursue concentrated study in one of several application domains: clinical informatics, translational bioinformatics, and clinical research informatics (in development). We continue to offer research-intensive nondegree postdoctoral fellowships. For the period 2012- 2017, Vanderbilt requests a total of 15 full-time training positions (9 predoctoral and 6 postdoctoral) and 4 short-term training positions per year. Through the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, we will continue to recruit Meharry students, graduates, and residents who seek training in biomedical informatics and expand recruitment efforts to underrepresented minorities from other institutions. The uniquely rich and nurturing environment for informatics at Vanderbilt is a result of the shared vision of the senior leadership of the institution for more than 20 years, that effective management of data, information and knowledge will be the competitive advantage for the university and its medical center in the current century. In this unique setting for education in biomedical informatics, our inaugural group of students has excelled in developing new knowledge that advances informatics as a scientific discipline. They are the strongest evidence that the Vanderbilt Biomedical Informatics Program has met the NLM's objectives for biomedical informatics researcher training and will continue to do so.
