Precision Practice with Big Data
BIOMEDIN 205: Precision Medicine and Big Data
Fall 2019
Course Description
Primarily for M.D. students; open to other graduate students. This course provides an overview of how to leverage large amounts of clinical, molecular, and imaging data within hospitals and in cyberspace--big data--to practice medicine more effectively. Lectures by physicians, researchers, and industry leaders survey how the major methods of informatics can help physicians leverage big data to profile disease, to personalize treatment to patients, to predict treatment response, to discover new knowledge, and to challenge established medical dogma and the current paradigm of clinical decision-making based solely on
published knowledge and individual physician experience. May be repeated for credit.
Prerequisite: Background in biomedicine. Background in computer science can be helpful but not required.
