Computational Precision Health (COMP HLTH)
COMP HLTH 200A Computational Precision Health Cornerstone (3 Units) Fall
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Prerequisite(s): N/A
Restrictions: CPH first year graduate students are given priority.
Activities: Lecture, Project
Students in CPH will develop skills and expertise in both the computational sciences and health sciences.In this three-part course series, students learn to integrate core foundations of computational precision health in small multidisciplinary teams using a Problem Based Learning pedagogical approach. Students will learn core computational foundations including in machine learning and causal inference and they will obtain deep exposure to multiple clinical areas including cancer and cardiology.

COMP HLTH 200C Computational Precision Health Cornerstone (3 Units) Spring
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Prerequisite(s): CPH 200A, CPH 200B
Restrictions: First year CPH graduate students are given priority
Activities: Lecture, Project
In part 3 of the three-part course series, students will focus on diabetes and ethical machine learning. The students will first learn about modeling chronic diseases including working with time-series data, treatment management, and sequential decision making. Along the way, we'll examine questions of equity and fairness within these questions including access to healthcare, social determinants of health, and trust in the healthcare system.

COMP HLTH 270 Computational Precision Health Seminar (3 Units) Fall, Winter
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Instructor(s): Ida Sim
Prerequisite(s): None.
Restrictions: Enrollment is limited to students with standing in the Computational Precision Health PhD, accepted students in the Designated Emphasis in Computational Precision Health, or by consent of the instructor.
Activities: Seminar, Discussion
Computational precision health is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of computational (computer science, data science, statistics) and health sciences (clinical medicine, population health, clinical research). The seminar consists of discussion of recent literature in CPH, guest speakers from across the programs faculty and beyond, presentations by second-year students on work completed during lab rotations, and presentations by third-year students on active dissertation research.
