U of Michigan Approves Two New Medical School Departments

The University of Michigan's Board of Regents has approved the creation of two new departments within the university's medical school, according to an AnnArbor.com report.

The departments — cardiac surgery as well as computational medicine and bioinformatics — will go live online in January, according to the report. The university has had cardiac surgery and computational medicine and bioinformatics as a part of the medical school since 1998 and 2005, respectively. However, increased need for cardiac care as well as research for both fields has spurred discussion of making two new departments.
