New Four-Part Brown Bag Seminar Series Kicks Off With BIC
The C. Kenneth and Dianne Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research (CCTR) held the first in a series of four BIC Brown Bag Lunch seminars on Wednesday, March 23 at the Main Hospital’s Learning Center.
Tim Aro, information systems manager for the CCTR’s Biomedical Informatics Core (BIC), led a presentation on the various tools and services the BIC has available to help the VCU community improve and expand data management processes.
“All of us here today have different experiences and expertise and I really think we can learn a lot from one another through collaboration,” Aro said. “The Biomedical Informatics Core is continuously growing and looking for feedback on the way you use our tools and services.”
The presentation covered an overview of the many tools and services offered by BIC, including electronic data capture (e.g. REDCap), cohort discovery (i2b2 and other new initiatives), and Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) support and training (OnCore).
