Participants in the training and those who use the medical informatics laboratory will be exposed to hands-on instruction in accessing computerized databases, using communication networks, building and using knowledge bases for expert systems, and working with software for analyzing biological sequence data.

By virtue of its expertise and sophisticated research and training facilities, NLM has determined that the MBL is uniquely qualified to carry out these required services in support of NLM's congressionally mandated outreach efforts.
