Biomedical Informatics Programs

The OHSU Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program offers three tracks:  Clinical Informatics (Graduate Certificate, Masters, PhD ), Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (Masters, PhD) and Health Information Management (Graduate Certificate,Masters). The Clinical Informatics (CI) and Health Information Management (HIM) tracks are focused on the healthcare and public health arenas, while the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) track is focused on translational bioinformatics and personalized medicine. Learn more about our Biomedical Informatics Programs.

Fellowships

OHSU offers predoctoral and postdoctoral research training fellowships in biomedical informatics. Support for the programs comes from the National Library of Medicine, the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research, NIH Fogarty International Center, Kaiser-Permanente, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. By providing a structured research experience with the option of coursework and/or pursuit of a degree, the program prepares fellows to undertake independent biomedical informatics research in the academic community, or to assume leadership positions in the growing number of hospital and/or commercial efforts in biomedical informatics.
 

Financial Assistance

There is a growing need for highly skilled and talented biomedical informatics professionals. There are substantial needs in the areas of clinical informatics, bioinformatics, clinical and translational research informatics, and public health informatics. Financial assistance opportunities are available in the form of scholarships, grants, travel funds, etc., from both the University and other National programs.

Partnership Programs

The Biomedical Informatics Educational Program offers two partnership programs, 10x10 ("ten by ten") and the Providence-OHSU Informatics program. 10x10 is offered in partnership with American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and is an introductory-level, distance learning program. The goal of this program is to train health care professional in basic informatics to be local experts representing users in their communities. Learn more about 10x10.

The Providence-OHSU Informatics Program aims to improve the understanding of medical informatics by operational hospital and clinical personnel at Providence Health System. The program is designed in modules, which can be studied online, both within the hospital setting and at home. The program is delivered over 22 weeks and has several on-site sessions. This course will be offered again in 2013.
