Graduate training in biomedical informatics (BMI) is evolving rapidly. BMI graduate programs differ in informatics domain, delivery method, degrees granted, as well as breadth and depth of curricular competencies. Using the current American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) definition of BMI core competencies as a framework, we identified and labeled course offerings within graduate programs. From our qualitative analysis, gaps between defined competencies and curricula emerged. Topics missing from existing graduate curricula include community health, translational and clinical research, knowledge representation, data mining, communication and evidence-based practice.
生物医学信息学(BMI)的研究生培训正在迅速发展。BMI研究生项目在信息学领域、授课方式、授予学位以及课程能力的广度和深度方面存在差异。我们以美国医学信息学协会(AMIA)目前对BMI核心能力的定义为框架,确定并标记了研究生项目中的课程设置。通过定性分析,我们发现了既定能力与课程之间的差距。现有研究生课程中缺失的主题包括社区卫生、转化与临床研究、知识表示、数据挖掘、沟通以及循证实践。
