Department of Biomedical Informatics
The Department of Biomedical Informatics (BMI) supports a partnership between academic researchers, clinical practitioners and regional health care providers to advance research and education in the science and practice of biomedical informatics.
BMI is currently offering an Master of Science (M.S.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the field. The core program will feature four courses for M.S. students and five course for Ph.D. students specifically designed to bring together clinicians and researchers in teams, applying new developments in informatics theory to clinical practice, a common request among the constituencies surveyed when planning the degree. The core courses feature an introductory course, a two-semester sequence in methodology and a course in problem solving with an emphasis on the latest software and systems solutions.
Located in the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative building on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, BMI is an integral component of the partnership with The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix, which opened in the summer of 2007. BMI and University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix faculty have collaborated to design and teach an innovative biomedical informatics curriculum integrated into all four years of medical school instruction, comprising over 90 hours of instruction. This unique curriculum is the first of its kind worldwide and would not be possible without this highly effective collaboration.
