MS in Medical Informatics – On-Campus

• Core competency in bioinformatics and biostatistics, and epidemiology.
• Competency in foundational biostatistics for complex statistical modeling of public health data.
• The ability to adapt and interpret epidemiological study designs for primary and post-hoc outcomes.
• The ability to identify and validate molecular markers for use in clinical research.
• Working knowledge of clinical, global, molecular, and environmental exposure epidemiology.

The core coursework of the master’s degree in Medical Informatics covers units that build a firm foundation in this essential field.

The Medical Informatics curriculum also includes an optional 3-unit capstone that challenges students to refine their knowledge and skills while working on a real-world applied informatics project. Beyond showcasing technical knowledge, the capstone experience also provides training in critical skills needed for professional success, such as scientific writing, presentation skills, and the ability to translate findings to an audience who might not necessarily hold domain expertise.
