Hi everyone

Throughout this semester, by taking statistics and others biomedical courses such as Health care management, I understood that statistics play an important role in the biomedical field and I learned the relationship between statistic and biomedical information. Descriptive or elementary knowledge of statistics is needed for informatics research such as decision support system evaluation, understanding the barriers to electronic medical record implementation, information retrieval, summarization of phylogenetic analysis, or spatial clustering for outbreak detection. Knowledge of statistics is important not only for those conducting research studies, but also for understanding the findings in the biomedical informatics literature and scientific presentations. Now I see why I need this statistics class in order to be able to take biomedical informatics courses such as Med and Bioinformatics. Statistics is an essential aspect of biomedical informatics.

Hello everyone,

My name is Isatu Jalloh, I am a full time student at New York City College of Technology. I am majoring in biomedical informatics. After four years I will go for physician assistant program. A PA is a path that can fulfill my desire to be a doctor in less expensive way. It is a way where I can feel the satisfaction of helping someone but in a different way. A kind of help that will be felt by the giver and receiver life long. Being a PA is an opportunity to try many fields such as pediatrics, surgery, geriatrics, etc. It is a way where I do not have to devote all my time to my job but to my soon to be beautiful family as well. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, cooking and travelling. This summer, I visited Germany, France, Belgium.

Knowledge of statistic and probability are needed for informatics research such as decision support system evaluation, understanding the barriers electronic medical record implementation, information retrieval. Knowledge of statistics is important for research studies and understanding the findings in the biomedical informatics literature and scientific presentations. I hope to learn the material needed for this class at the end of this semester.
