Essentials of Genomics and Biomedical Informatics

The data revolution in medicine is hauled by three prime innovations that the medical industry vouches for which are electronic medical records comprising the use of machine learning techniques to mine huge datasets of medical records, next-generation sequencing which effectuates the ability to sequence individual genomes at lower costs, and wearable devices incorporating crowdsourcing and social networks.

Backed by the educational experience of edX, the Essentials of Genomics and Biomedical Informatics Certification Course trains learners to participate in the revolution by providing training on topics that are not generally taught in a medical school. The course has been formulated by a decade of intensive effort between clinicians from Sheba Medical Center and researchers from the computational biology program at Bar-Ilan University in Israel and is duly endorsed by the Israeli Ministry of Health and Medicine Association.

The syllabus deals with the study of different methods used to extract phenotypic and genotypic medical data, the use of machine learning and AI tools for medical database mining included in electronic medical records, analysis of biological molecules and proteins through bioinformatics computational tools, and a systematic insight into medical conditions and biological systems. During both the tracks, Verified and Audit the stduents get access to course material but in the case of Audit mode the access is for a limited period. In the case of the Verfiifed track, the candidates get access for an unlimited period.

The Ethics of Biomedicine

Unlike other bioethics courses, The Ethics of Biomedicine online course is directed primarily towards students who have scientific biomedical training as their primary focus. Such students are most likely to end up in research and development, or at a biomedical laboratory. However, they also face ethical questions and dilemmas in their professional lives.

The Ethics of Biomedicine certification course targets those studying biomedicine, and not just disciplines that lead to a particular profession (like nurses, physicians, etc.). The reason behind that is that those engaged in the latter often have ethical codes that are specific to their specific line of work. Moreover, much of their training regarding ethics has to do with ethical problems that may arise in the course of their relationship with the patient as a healthcare professional.

Developed by the Karolinska Institutet, The Ethics of Biomedicine training is five weeks long, and learners need to engage only three to six hours a week. It is a self-paced programme consisting of video lectures with transcripts in English.
