The Biomedical Informatics Research Center (http://
informatics.sdsu.edu/) at San Diego State University has received a
five year training grant from National Science Foundation and the
Department of Labor for its expansion. At least 52 students will
receive scholarships through this grant to pay for their education-
related expenses (tuition, books, room and board, etc). The
combination of funds can provide up to $25,000 towards each student’s
education per year. This prestigious opportunity is a competitive
scholarship program. Students’ academic achievement is considered in
assigning these scholarships. Women and minorities are especially
encouraged to apply.
BMIRC is looking for motivated students to fill these scholarship
slots. Online applications must be filed by February 1, 2011.
Supporting documents (e.g. transcripts, GRE scores, etc.) can arrive
until March 1, 2011. For more information about the application and
admission process, please visit http://informatics.sdsu.edu/admission.php.

Who is qualified for BMI graduate education? If you are pursuing or
have a baccalaureate degree in any field of science or engineering,
you are qualified to enter this program.
What is Biomedical Informatics? Ever wondered what it takes to
discover a new drug, to understand the underlying mechanism of a
disease, or how to improve hospital bedside practice through
electronic health records? It takes biology, chemistry and medical
science, but it also takes computer science and engineering. The
complexity of biological systems and vast amounts of data that new
technologies produce require computer know-how. Biomedical Informatics
is the science of understanding biological and medical processes using
mathematical, computer, and engineering tools. It is the
interdisciplinary science that is now a necessity in all disease and
environmental discoveries, drug development efforts, and in clinical
and hospital services. For the latter, the major also covers
electronic health records, their design, usage, and analysis for
discovery of disease related and public health patterns.
As such you can expect careers (at both MS and PhD levels) in the very
large biotechnology, medical sciences, and clinical and hospital
sectors. These careers also expand into the information technology
sector (e.g. AT&T, Google, IBM, and Microsoft) as it moves into the
health care enterprise.
