Overview
The primary goal of both master's degree programs from Oregon Health & Science University, the Master of Science (MS) and the Master of Science Non-Thesis (MS-Non-Thesis) in Health and Clinical Informatics, is to educate future developers and managers of health care information systems. Individuals with a variety of backgrounds are provided a strong technical grounding in biomedical informatics, health and medicine, computer science, and research methods so that they may assume positions that require a thorough understanding of both information technology and the health care environment.
Learning outcomes
Health and clinical informatics transforms 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.
