Master of Health and Clinical Informatics

Health and clinical informatics transform health care by analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems to improve patient care, enhance access to care, advance individual and population health outcomes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. Professionals in clinical informatics occupy a wide variety of positions in health care, research, government, and other institutions, where they use data and information to improve individual health, health care delivery, public health, and biomedical research.

The OHSU Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program offers degrees in clinical informatics at the graduate certificate, master's, and Ph.D. level. The programs are primarily designed to meet the educational needs of two types of students – the health care professional seeking additional training in information management and technology and the non-healthcare professional seeking training in understanding health care and its use of information and technology.
