CCTS offers a rich array of informatics learning opportunities to investigators, from skill building classes such as our hands-on i2b2 training to intense immersion experiences. For a full listing of CCTS learning opportunities, visit our upcoming events page. Subscribe to the CCTS Digest to receive a weekly update delivered to your inbox.
Skill Building
CCTS also offers a series of i2b2 training videos for those researchers who prefer the flexibility of learning online and/or who wish to refresh their i2b2 knowledge.
Informatics Enrichment Activities
The CCTS, with the UAB Informatics Institute and Partner Network, connects investigators to a variety of Informatics-related enrichment activities.
Informatics Institute Powertalk Seminar Series
Clinical Informatics Journal Club
The Foundations of Biomedical Data Science virtual seminar series is an exciting and topical set of regularly scheduled, weekly, webinar presentations covering the basics of data management, representation, computation, statistical inference, data modeling, & other topics relevant to “big data” biomedicine. (For all levels of the biomedical and computational sciences community.)
Formal degreed programs, such as the Master of Science in Health Informatics offered by the UAB Department of Health Services Administration, are also available. The CCTS supports the PhD track in genetics, genomics, and informatics within the Hub’s Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences. With leadership from UAB Informatics Institute, the CCTS is also exploring ways to extend the Hub’s graduate degree programs to the undergraduate level in collaboration with the Departments of Biology and Computer and Information Sciences.
