The Master of Science - Biomedical Informatics (Bioinformatics) offers students the opportunity to become professionals who use biomedical data, information and knowledge to improve human health.

Students in the master's program learn problem-solving, theory and the methodologies underlying the field of biomedical informatics. They take courses in areas such as knowledge representation, clinical environments, imaging, bioinformatics and data science. Core courses provide a background in clinical informatics, while electives allow specialization in focus areas such as data science or mobile health.

Biomedical informatics fosters collaborations among academic researchers, clinical practitioners and regional health care providers to apply new developments in informatics theory to clinical practice. The program educates students in the informatics knowledge and skills that will enable them to:
detect disease early
improve the quality of patient health care and reduce its cost
improve the patient hospital experience
improve the precision of diagnosis
minimize hospital visits
Biomedical informatics has a key role to play in the transition to more effective and efficient health care through the use of knowledge and information technology.
