Biomedical Informatics

Biomedical Informatics is an interdisciplinary field that works at the intersection of medicine and engineering.  At its core, it involves the practical application of technology to the many dimensions of healthcare.  It is composed of 4 major disciplines:

1. Clinical Informatics (electronic health records, clinical decision support, personalized medicine, etc.)
2. Public Health Informatics (population health management, pharmacovigilance, etc.)
3. Bioinformatics (genetic testing, genome sequencing, etc.)
4. Imaging Informatics (computer-aided diagnosis, teleradiology, etc.)
