Abstract

The presented here Master’s degree program Biomedical informatics in NBU is new modern interdisciplinary program that bears the marks of contemporary notions of Internet education in informatics, biomedical and health sciences. The training is based on information and IT-management principles and processes, where the evolution of the term is associated with ideas about starting a powerful technological informatization of medical and health practice, but today the emphasis is on interpretation techniques – in seeking integration between algorithmic and software and human / expert appearances. The most important is understanding and explaining the clinical manifestations and medical conditions that have proven genetic (biological, hereditary) origin.
