• The Biomedical Informatics PhD program provides a very deep research experience while ensuring breadth in the theoretical foundations of Biomedical Informatics. Graduates will refine research skills in order to conduct independent research projects of a scope suitable for several journal publications.
  • This work will culminate in a PhD dissertation. Students will learn a broad set of knowledge in the Department's three areas of concentration: Clinical Informatics; Bioinformatics; and Population/Public Health Informatics.
  • In addition, students will come to understand the practice of biomedical informatics through structured interactions with practitioners at all levels. Upon completion students will be prepared to engage research or advanced development work at the range of academic, government, and commercial positions that require a very strong research background in biomedical informatics.
