Biomedical Informatics
Graduate Badge
Grand Rapids • Face to face • 9 Credits
The College of Computing's Biomedical Informatics Graduate Badge at GVSU is designed to prepare students with essential skills in various key areas of the field.
Overview
Students will learn to evaluate the requirements for biomedical information systems, engage in project management practices for biomedical decision-making, and understand the legal and ethical considerations surrounding biomedical informatics. Additionally, the badge prepares students to apply computational methods for knowledge discovery in bioinformatics and medicine, create visualizations for complex data sets, design parallel and high-performance computing algorithms, and develop machine learning algorithms. This badge provides students with a comprehensive foundation in the field through GVSU’s badge program rather than pursuing a full degree or certificate program.
The badge consists of three courses, which totals nine credits.
Earning this badge provides expertise in health informatics, clinical
information systems, data mining, and data visualization, with a focus
on improving healthcare outcomes. Students will also explore
information management, security, and ethical considerations,
equipping them to leverage data effectively in clinical and research settings.
Students who obtain this badge have the ability to showcase
specialized skills in health and clinical information systems, data
mining, and visualization. Whether earned alongside a degree or
through continuing education, this badge enhances your expertise in a
rapidly growing field. Digital badges can be shared online,
highlighting your marketable skills to potential employers and setting
you apart in the competitive job market.
A digital badge, or badge, is a record of achievement that recognizes a student's completion of a coherent and meaningful academic experience.
