Methods of machine learning and Electronic Health Records (EHR) are increasingly used in healthcare, making the technological revolution a reality today. Big data and advanced analytics are no longer mere buzzwords. Therein lies the need to adapt to the way healthcare is transacted in the near future.
With that, the Division of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) is newly inaugurated under the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. It will support and build an international network of biomedical informaticians and thought leadership in education and research, to provide personalised medicine and higher care quality.
Headed by Associate Professor Ngiam Kee Yuan, DBMI aims to train specialised and skilled Clinician Informaticians (CIs) to be well-versed in healthcare technologies, using big data and innovative ways of presentation to provide clinical insights, disease, treatment and response patterns.
They offer the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics (MSc in BMI) degree programme, available in full time or part time study options. It has two specialisations: Analytics or Hospital Management. They welcomed their first batch of students on 30 July 2022.
