ISC: Clinical Informatics

School of Medicine

The purpose of the Clinical Informatics Integrated Science Course is to allow students to participate in the daily work at VUMC to improve the healthcare system. Students will receive a focused educational experience with exposure to multiple informatics topics that transcend medical specialty. Emphasis will be placed on the real-world application of concepts including clinical decision support, genomic medicine, data science, workflow design, and data privacy. Learners will engage through informatics clinic, small group sessions, and didactics. No coding experience is necessary to participate. Learners will complete this course with an understanding of the related disciplines necessary to analyze and solve complex biomedical informatics problems in a clinical setting. Additionally, they will gain an understanding of the role clinicians can play in applying the principles of biomedical informatics in clinical practice.
