By Amcdonald. Published on March 8, 2012 in Continuing Education. 8 Comments Tags: , , , .

As part of our unofficial ‘Spring into Data!’ series of Spring events, the Philadelphia Regional Chapter of the Medical Library Association (MLA-Phil) is pleased to offer:

Translational Bioinformatics

Note: this workshop was offered previously outside the MLA-Phil region under the title of “Clinical Informatics”. It is not the same workshop as “Foundations of Bioinformatics and Searching,” which Diane Rein taught during her previous visit to Philadelphia in November, 2010.

The major goals of this course are:

  • To familiarize participants with clinical bioinformatics databases
  • To learn expert level search strategies within these databases
  • To leave with a basic understanding of human genetics principles and vocabulary.

The session will cover clinical bioinformatics and its relationship to translational medicine, biomedical informatics, clinical informatics, and electronic medical and health records.
