Overview

The Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education program is research-focused; students must complete a thesis that aims at solving a research problem in the science of biomedical and health informatics. When broadly defined, we believe that a research-focused MS thesis can help our students achieve a broad range of career goals in the variety of domains that comprise BHI.

Features

Our cross-cutting themes provide a more general vision statement for our graduate programs (MS and PhD) and the broad themes and goals we value in biomedical and health informatics education.

The core curriculum for our MS program is built around nine courses, and students may also select from the wide range of related courses available from BHI-affiliated programs, as well as the UW catalog as a whole. Optionally, students may also pursue a Data Science Specialization with their BHI M.S.

The University of Washington itself is situated in the beautiful city of Seattle, a veritable mecca for those who enjoy the beautiful outdoors and the diverse offerings of a big city. We look forward to your application and welcome your interest.
