COMP HLTH 270  Computational Precision Health Seminar  (3 Units)  Fall, Winter  

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.
