What is the meaning of integration in Biomedical Informatics?
A. “Integration” in the context of interdisciplinary science means the effective linkage of scientific knowledge (methods and other results) from fields of science that do not have as broad communication channels among them as normally found within each individual discipline. A first step towards integration in this context is acquiring knowledge in the individual disciplines. A second step is learning how knowledge discovered in one field, was in the past applied in another field, or how knowledge from various fields was combined to solve problems at the intersection of fields. The third and final step involves applying (as well as extending, modifying, and adapting) such cross-disciplinary knowledge to explore novel scientific hypotheses. Acquiring knowledge about computer science, mathematical techniques, and biomedical science within the program corresponds to step #1 as delineated above. Studying the five core courses corresponds to step #2. And conducting original research puttin
