This is a core course for a graduate degree in clinical research. Biomedical informatics (BMI) is a field concerned with the collection, management, analysis and optimal use of patient information to facilitate clinical research and drive evidence-based medicine and improvements in healthcare outcomes. This course will present fundamental knowledge on database design, data collection standards and processes, and explore the different data utilization and analytic methods to leverage primary and secondary data in clinical research. Students will review the role of emerging technologies such as electronic health records, administrative and regulatory datasets, biobanks, and research-specific data management systems in clinical research. Practical application of biomedical information will be demonstrated through journal article review and directed questions, data exercises, and generating a data analytics work product.
