Health informatics (also known as biomedical informatics) is an interdisciplinary field of scholarship that applies computer, information, statistical, management, and related scientific methods to enable biomedical discovery and support the effective and efficient use and analysis of data, management of information, and application of knowledge across the spectrum from basic science to clinical care. The ultimate goal of the field is to improve the health, well-being, and economic functioning of society. Students take a sequence of core courses in health informatics, computing, and biostatistics, and electives in technical and health science areas, and pursue one of four tracks: data science and informatics for learning health systems; clinical informatics; translational bioinformatics; or precision and personalized medicine (PPM) informatics.
