Health Informatics MasterTrack® Certificate

Health informatics is a highly-demanded field that includes applied research and the practice and application of informatics in clinical and public health. Informatics researchers develop, introduce, and evaluate new biomedically motivated methods in areas as diverse as data mining, natural language or text processing, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, decision support, databases and algorithms for analyzing large amounts of data generated in public health, clinical research and genomics/proteomics.In this online program, you will develop the skills and knowledge around data, health and informatics needed to attract attention from recruiters and hiring managers in the fast growing healthcare industry. The course will give you a deep understanding of the health informatics field and its subfields. This includes imaging, research, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and laboratory/precision medicine. You will also explore the themes that serve as the foundation for different areas of biomedical informatics, including clinical and neuro-informatics.Throughout four courses and hands-on projects, you will leverage the expertise of faculty from the Division of Health Informatics at the Yale School of Public Health, learning from real-world projects and live sessions with groups of high-caliber peers.By committing 6-8 hours of online study per week for about 7 months, you can earn a Yale-issued Health Informatics MasterTrack Certificate that can help you in your future graduate studies or professional pursuits in both public health departments (e.g. CDC, local government, and the private sector. organizations that employ computer scientists and mathematicians/statisticians). If you are accepted to the Yale School of Public Health's Master of Public Health (MPH), conditional credit will be granted. If you are accepted into the Yale School of Public Health MasterTrack Certificate program, you will be eligible for 2 conditional credit hours towards the Yale School of Public Health MPH program. .
