The Stanford Biomedical Informatics training program began with a focus on clinical informatics, and has now evolved into a general program of biomedical informatics training, including clinical informatics, bioinformatics and imaging informatics. The program offers PhD, MS, distance MS, certificate programs, and is now affiliated with an undergraduate major in biomedical computation. Current dynamics include (1) increased activity in informatics within other training programs in biology and the information sciences (2) increased desire among informatics students to gain laboratory experience, (3) increased demand for computational collaboration among biomedical researchers, and (4) interaction with the newly formed Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. The core focus on research training-the development and application of novel informatics methods for biomedical research-keeps the program centered in the midst of this period of growth and diversification.
斯坦福生物医学信息学培训项目最初专注于临床信息学，如今已发展成为一个涵盖临床信息学、生物信息学和影像信息学的生物医学信息学综合培训项目。该项目提供博士、硕士、远程硕士学位课程、证书课程，目前还与生物医学计算本科专业相关联。当前的动态包括：（1）生物学和信息科学其他培训项目中信息学活动的增加；（2）信息学专业学生对获得实验室经验的需求增加；（3）生物医学研究人员对计算协作的需求增加；（4）与斯坦福大学新成立的生物工程系的互动。对研究培训的核心关注——开发和应用用于生物医学研究的新型信息学方法——使该项目在这个增长和多元化时期保持核心地位。
