Course Description

The Duke/UNC Joint Health Informatics Seminar Presentation Series is sponsored by Duke Center for Health Informatics and the Carolina Health Informatics Program.  This series explores key areas in Health Informatics and includes research results, overview of programs of research (both basic and applied), and evaluative projects.  Speakers with extensive informatics experiences and knowledge from both academia and industry are usually invited to present.   The general goal is to expose students to ongoing cutting-edge R&D issues in health informatics and add to their basic understanding of the area.   Students should aim to participate in a selected set of presentations that directly overlap with their own areas of interest and they are expected to synthesize the knowledge gleaned from the seminar presentations into a presentation which summarizes their key concepts and issues and their personal reflections on them.

Objectives:

 

          Attend presentations that relate to research interests and ongoing projects

          Engage with the presenters to expand on presentation topics to gain deeper understanding

 

Course Requirements

 

          Presentation at the end of the semester highlighting key topics and personal reflections on them
