Learning Outcomes
Purpose: The use of technology and Computer Information Sciences is a prerequisite skill in medical education, patient care and medical research. This Medical Informatics course aims to familiarize students with the use of computers, telecommunications and the internet for data mining of medical data from knowledge, data and medical information databases that are accessible through the World Wide Web. This course also incorporates elements for applications of computer information systems used nowadays for medical knowledge transport, medical data management, usage of patient electronic health records for decision patient management support. Expected results: Upon completion of the course students will be able to learn to familiarize themselves with the use of computer systems for educational kai medical practice needs. They will also learn relevant terminology and the importance of computer networking. They will also be introduced to the concepts of different medical data types and medical images as well as the content and importance of biomedical data and data processing. Students will learn to describe in terms of algorithms and logical steps medical processes and problems. They will learn to seek valid and up-to-date medical information on the internet and through specialized medical knowledge databases. Students will learn to appreciate the importance of the patient electronic health record and its uses. Students will understand the role and importance of medical information flow and management in medical health information systems and telemedicine systems. Last, they will learn to dynamically use new technologies during their education.
