The practice and process of health care are inextricably intertwined with the management of information. Information technologies have become increasingly necessary for modern practices in medicine, efficient and effective management of health care, and health professions education. Health professionals recognize an urgent need for skilled scientists who are knowledgeable about both medical environment and information technologies. The Master of Science program in Biomedical Informatics and our special Certificate Programs in Health Care Informatics prepare student in the applications of computer and information sciences to support and manage all health care activities ranging from those pertaining to the care of the sick, to health promotion and disease prevention, medical and health professions education, health sciences research, and management efforts directed toward solutions of problems in the delivery of health care, including resource optimization and cost effectiveness.
