Course Objective

Biomedical informatics is the broad discipline concerned with the study and application of computer science, information science, informatics, cognitive science and humancomputer interaction in the practice of biological research, biomedical science, medicine and healthcare. Other fields, including bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics and public health informatics, medical informatics are commonly cast as sister domains of or sub-domains within biomedical informatics. Aim of this course is to introduce and familiarize student with the above mentioned topics of Biomedical Informatics.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
