Program Description
The Biomedical Informatics Training for Graduate and Medical Students component of the Biomedical Informatics Training Program at the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications provides summer or semester-long training and research opportunities to graduate students enrolled in MS, PhD, and MD programs.
