生物医学和健康信息学哲学交叉学科博士

生物医学和健康信息学是“处理生物医学信息，数据和知识的科学领域”，即它们的存储，检索以及对问题解决和决策的最佳利用。因此，它涉及生物医学的所有基本和应用领域，并且与现代信息技术紧密相关，特别是在计算和通信领域，即医学计算机科学。”（斯坦福大学，医学信息学的定义。）国家中心《生物技术信息学》将生物信息学定义为“科学领域”，医学，生物学，计算机科学和信息技术在此领域融合为一门学科。该领域的最终目标是能够发现新的生物学见解，并建立一个全球视野，从中可以辨别生物学与健康的统一原理。” / font>
At UMKC we understand that each person's academic, professional and career goals are unique. Our Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program enables students to work across multiple disciplines and develop an academic focus that is just as individual as they are. From the moment you enroll in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, you begin to write your own personal story of the future.<br><br>The world of the future will require scholars with a global approach to problem solving. It will no longer be enough to know one area, one discipline, or one field of study. Inquiry and discovery are crossing disciplines. With this in mind, the mission of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program is to span traditional boundaries among disciplines while helping students develop knowledge and skills for independent research on the fundamental questions of the present and the future. Students must be admitted to at least two disciplines (Primary and Co-Discipline) by the end of their first semester.
