Working Group on Biomedical Computing

Overview
Biomedical computing is not a recognized discipline, and despite the extraordinary demand for people with good education in both biomedicine and computing, only a few cross-disciplinary training programs exist. Recognition of the convergence of biomedicine and computing is also quite limited among the agencies that fund biomedical and computation research. The Working Group on Biomedical Computing was established to offer recommendations to remedy that situation at the National Institutes of Health.
