Goal of the Project

• Our five year plan is to utilize the resources
  to extend the reach of the NLM course. The
  investment made by the NLM in the Biomedical
  Informatics course can be expanded to address the
  informatics needs of many institutions,
  especially through the sharing of expertise and
  experience.

  instructors involved with the NLM Biomedical
  Informatics MBL courses.
• Establishing a network
• Establishing a mentoring program
