 | | While medical informatics is the principal focus of the program, fellows have the opportunity to explore bioinformatics and medical imaging, two fields to which medical informatics has many strong natural links. | | | Emphasis on testing and measurement is as important to informatics as it is to the rest of science and at least a third of the curriculum of the medical informatics fellowship is dedicated to research methodology. | | | All aspects of medical informatics will be explored as fellows interact with one of the largest medical informatics physician brain-trusts in the country. |

| | VUMC Department of Biomedical Informatics (FAQ) |
| | Today, biomedical informatics can be defined as the theory and practice of information and knowledge integration, management, and use in all aspects of health care delivery, biomedicine, and public health, conducted through multidisciplinary research, development, and application. | | | Early academic units for "medical" or "health" informatics tended to focus on application of informatics to support clinical practice and clinical research; often, at other institutions, academic units devoted to bioinformatics and clinical informatics evolved separately. | | | This is exemplified by its foundations in studies involving clinical problem-solving, research on improving diagnosis and therapy, the analysis of clinicians' information needs, and its emphasis on solutions that embody the evidence-based practice framework. |

| | UKHiS - What is Medical Informatics? |
| | 'Health informatics' is now tending to replace the previously commoner term 'medical informatics', reflecting a widespread concern to define an information agenda for health services which recognises the role of citizens as agents in their own care, as well as the major information-handling roles of the non-medical healthcare professions. | | | BMiS is a national association for people concerned with health informatics in both of these senses, and is based on the recognition that practical and scientific concerns in this domain are interdependent and inseparable. | | | The scope, challenges and problems it offers for health informatics, intellectual and practical, technological and cultural, are daunting and exciting. |
