The Ph.D. Program at the Graduate Institute of Biomedical Informatics creates an international and multidisciplinary environment. Where students are provided comprehensive training to integrate knowledge and skills from biomedicine and information science. Taught in partnership with TMU-affiliated hospitals, our Program equips students with the ability required to solve problems in biomedical industries, clinical practice, and research, in order to fulfill unmet healthcare needs.

The Institute currently has 14 full-time, 3 part-time professors from diverse backgrounds with expertise in integrated studies of biological and medical information. Our Ph.D. Program features interdisciplinary courses including biomedical informatics, big data analysis (using both geno- and phenotype data), health Internet of Things (IoT), telemedicine & mobile health (mHealth), clinical decision support systems, and artificial intelligence in medicine. Students also participate in internships at biomedical information-related industries.

These 6 courses are required:

Suggested Electives:

• A minimum of 30 credits, including 23 credits of required courses
• 2 SCI original papers or 1 original paper in a journal with Impact Factor ≧ 6.
