BIC Seminar Series

The BIC Seminar Series is a forum where biomedical informatics researchers from multiple colleges present their research. These seminars promote cutting-edge biomedical informatics and tie the biomedical community together as a research hub.

In addition, UK continues to develop research seminars and invite nationally and internationally renowned scholars and educators to enhance student, faculty, and staff learning. In May 2009, Ted Shortliffe, MD, PhD, Dean of the University of Arizona School of Medicine, will give the Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series and serve as a BIC visiting professor.
