Recently I completed the Master of Science in Informatics at San Jose State University. It was my first fully online program. The professors actually made the transition very seamless for me. They're very flexible and they're actually easy to contact whenever I have questions or I need to request for an extension for an assignment or a paper. My cohort was very diverse. Some were clinicians, they have health care backgrounds and some were purely IT professionals. I think the demand for the informatics will continue to grow as information technology becomes more integrated with the healthcare industry. There is going to be an increase in the demand for clinicians with a background in IT.
