Biomedical Informatics

专业详情

Discover solutions to critical healthcare issues by gaining the skills and knowledge to structure, assemble, and effectively use medical data to improve health outcomes.

The Graham School will not be admitting new students to the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics (MScBMI) in Autumn 2024. The University will take this opportunity to consider future programming in the Biological Sciences Division (BSD). Please see the BSD website for more information about their offerings.

The interdisciplinary study of biomedical informatics uses data to improve health outcomes and involves everything from creating digital tools for more precise decision-making to implementing data-based solutions in healthcare management, patient outcomes, preventative treatment, healthcare disparities, and even curing disease. It provides greater consumer access to health records, supports collaborative care, improves quality of care, prevents treatment and prescription errors, facilitates the comparison of gene sequences, and reduces healthcare costs by better-identifying patient health risks.

In our bioinformatics degree program, students will master informatics methodology, apply tools and techniques for both research and applied problems in healthcare-related settings, learn effective communication, leadership and project management skills, and understand the ethical, privacy, and data security issues in the field. You will learn everything necessary to succeed in this interdisciplinary field through rigorous coursework, experiential learning Capstone Project, and guidance, support, and networking with a diverse group of experts and healthcare professionals. The key to transforming medicine is in this data-driven discipline.
