Are you interested in how to use data generated by doctors, nurses, and the healthcare system to improve the care of future patients? If so, you may be a future clinical data scientist! This specialization provides learners with hands on experience in use of electronic health records and informatics tools to perform clinical data science. This series of six courses is designed to augment learner’s existing skills in statistics and programming to provide examples of specific challenges, tools, and appropriate interpretations of clinical data. By completing this specialization you will know how to: 1) understand electronic health record data types and structures, 2) deploy basic informatics methodologies on clinical data, 3) provide appropriate clinical and scientific interpretation of applied analyses, and 4) anticipate barriers in implementing informatics tools into complex clinical settings. You will demonstrate your mastery of these skills by completing practical application projects using real clinical data. This specialization is supported by our industry partnership with Google Cloud. Thanks to this support, all learners will have access to a fully hosted online data science computational environment for free! Please note that you must have access to a Google account (i.e., gmail account) to access the clinical data and computational environment.

Introduction to Clinical Data Science
This course will prepare you to complete all parts of the Clinical Data Science Specialization. In this course you will learn how clinical data are generated, the format of these data, and the ethical and legal restrictions on these data. You will also learn enough SQL and R programming skills to be able to complete the entire Specialization - even if you are a beginner programmer. While you are taking this course you will have access to an actual clinical data set and a free, online computational environment for data science hosted by our Industry Partner Google Cloud. At the end of this course you will be prepared to embark on your clinical data science education journey, learning how to take data created by the healthcare system and improve the health of tomorrow's patients.
Clinical Data Models and Data Quality Assessments
This course aims to teach the concepts of clinical data models and common data models. Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to interpret and evaluate data model designs using Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), differentiate between data models and articulate how each are used to support clinical care and data science, and create SQL statements in Google BigQuery to query the MIMIC3 clinical data model and the OMOP common data model.
Identifying Patient Populations
This course teaches you the fundamentals of computational phenotyping, a biomedical informatics method for identifying patient populations. In this course you will learn how different clinical data types perform when trying to identify patients with a particular disease or trait. You will also learn how to program different data manipulations and combinations to increase the complexity and improve the performance of your algorithms. Finally, you will have a chance to put your skills to the test with a real-world practical application where you develop a computational phenotyping algorithm to identify patients who have hypertension. You will complete this work using a real clinical data set while using a free, online computational environment for data science hosted by our Industry Partner Google Cloud.
Clinical Natural Language Processing
This course teaches you the fundamentals of clinical natural language processing. In this course you will learn practical techniques for extracting information stored in text-based portions of electronic medical records.

常見問題
退款政策是如何规定的？
我可以只注册一门课程吗？
可以！点击您感兴趣的课程卡开始注册即可。注册并完成课程后，您可以获得可共享的证书，或者您也可以旁听该课程免费查看课程资料。如果您订阅的课程是某专项课程的一部分，系统会自动为您订阅完整的专项课程。访问您的学生面板，跟踪您的进度。
有助学金吗？
我可以免费学习课程吗？
此课程是 100% 在线学习吗？是否需要现场参加课程？
此课程完全在线学习，无需到教室现场上课。您可以通过网络或移动设备随时随地访问课程视频、阅读材料和作业。
I live in an area that restricts access to Google products. Will I be able to complete the specialization?
Unfortunately at this time we can only allow students who have access to Google services (i.e., a gmail account) to complete the specialization. This is because we give students access to real clinical data and our privacy protections only allow data sharing through the Google BigQuery environment.
完成专项课程需要多长时间？
The specialization will take approximately 6 months to complete. However students can take the specialization at their own pace.
What background knowledge is necessary?
Some experience or awareness of programming and statistical concepts are helpful. However, Course 1 - Introduction to Clinical Data Science, provides learners with enough training in SQL and R to complete the specialization.
Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?
We highly recommend that you take Course 1 - Introduction to Clinical Data Science, first as it is meant to provide basic training and information useful for Courses 2-6. Although you may take Course 2-6 in any order, it may be helpful to take them sequentially.
完成专项课程后我会获得大学学分吗？
This Specialization doesn't carry university credit, but some universities may choose to accept Specialization Certificates for credit. Check with your institution to learn more. Additionally, certification in this specialization may enhance professional credentials and attribute to new jobs, salary increases, or promotions.
