[Sigmed-l] Educational opportunities in biomedical informatics

[Bill Hersh]

The Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU, www.ohsu.edu/dmice) would like to make the following announcements for prospective students:
1. Fellowships and Assistantships in Biomedical Informatics at OHSU for Summer-Fall, 2007
2. Application Deadline Extension for OHSU Master's Degree Programs in Biomedical Informatics
3. Summer Internships in Biomedical Informatics
 
1. Fellowships and Assistantships in Biomedical Informatics at OHSU for Summer-Fall, 2007
 
The Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeking highly qualified applicants for its predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship program. Funding is available from OHSU's National Library of Medicine Training Grant as well as other sources.
 
Predoctoral fellows are expected to enroll in the OHSU PhD in Biomedical Informatics Program. Postdoctoral fellows must have a prior doctoral degree (such as MD or PhD) and are encouraged to enroll in the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics Program, although they may also enroll in the PhD program. PhD positions are also available for self-funded students or those funded by other others means.
 
The OHSU Master's and PhD programs have recently expanded to include tracks in medical informatics and bioinformatics. In addition to rigorous coursework, participation in a wide variety of research projects is part of the fellowship.
 
More information about the fellowship program can be found at:

2. Application Deadline Extension for OHSU Master's Degree Programs in Biomedical Informatics
 
OHSU has extended the deadline for applications for Fall, 2007 for its Master's Degree Programs in Biomedical Informatics to March 15, 2007. We have recently expanded the program into two "tracks," one focused on medical informatics (information systems in clinical settings) and the other on bioinformatics (information systems in molecular biology and biomedical research).
 
OHSU's graduate program in biomedical informatics is the largest of its kind in the United States. Students not only get a strong grounding in the knowledge of applying information technology in health care and biomedical research, but also have the opportunity to obtain practical experience in a variety of health care settings, companies, and biomedical research labs.
 
With the growing push for more use of information technology to improve health care and biomedical research, there are many career opportunities in biomedical informatics. OHSU is an excellent place to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for career opportunities in the field.

3. Summer Internships in Biomedical Informatics for College Undergraduates
 
The Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) announces the availability of summer internships for qualified students with an interest in pursuing careers in the field.
 
Biomedical informatics is the field concerned with the application of information technology to a wide variety of problems in health care and biomedical research. Opportunities are available for participation in a number of ongoing research projects at OHSU.
 
Students accepted into the program will be provided workspace in the Biomedical Information Communication Center (BICC) on the OHSU campus. Students will have the opportunity to interact with other faculty in the program and learn about their research as well as the field in general. Some opportunities will include the chance to be part of published research.
