About This Program

The Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM) offers an undergraduate minor in Computational Medicine, the first educational program in CM, reflecting Johns Hopkins University’s leadership in this field. Like the ICM, the undergraduate minor in Computational Medicine is integrative and multidisciplinary. The ICM Core Faculty who serve as advisors to the undergraduate minor hold primary and joint appointments in multiple Johns Hopkins University departments and schools including Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Statistics (WSE); Neurosurgery, Emergency Medicine, Medicine, and the Divisions of Cardiology and Health Sciences Informatics (SOM); and Health Policy and Management (BSPH). With a minor in CM, undergraduates gain a solid grounding in the development and application of computational methods in key areas of medicine. Specifically, undergraduates will understand how mathematical models can be constructed from biophysical laws or experimental data, and how predictions from these models facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of a disease. Undergraduates will become conversant with a wide variety of statistical, deterministic, and stochastic modeling methods, skills that are essential to the advancement of modern medicine, and are prized both in academic research and industrial research. Students interested in the minor should visit the Institute for Computational Medicine website for instructions on how to declare the minor.
