Master of Science [M.S] [Biomedical Informatics] From Oregon Health & Science University

TracksClinical informatics

Clinical informatics focuses on the use of information to improve personal health, healthcare delivery, and population health. Applications focus on electronic health records, telemedicine, information retrieval (search) systems, and mobile technologies. Methods applied include standards and interoperability, data and text mining, qualitative research, human-computer interaction, and data analytics.?

The curriculum focuses on both their operational as well as research aspects. Courses are delivered both on-campus and via distance learning.

Bioinformatics and computational biology

Translational bioinformatics is defined as the development of analytic, storage, and interpretive methods to optimize the transformation of the increasingly voluminous genetic, genomic, and biological data into diagnostics and therapeutics for medicine. With recognition that a key component of this translation is computational biology, the underlying algorithmic and quantitative framework, we have created the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology track.?

Active areas of study include clinical and functional genomics, text mining and information retrieval, imaging, systems biology and computational neuroscience. Courses are delivered on-campus
