Biomedical & Health Informatics are growing fields in both academia and industry
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, fields in which bioinformatics professionals work can easily expect 14–22% growth in the next several years.
A certificate is a good way to explore if you would like to pursue a Master’s degree, and can help you start the process of changing careers or enhancing your current employment status.
With the training gained through a certificate or Master’s degree in Biomedical & Health Informatics, students may pursue opportunities as data scientists, health informatics consultants/technicians, and clinical data scientists.
Students may also decide to continue their academic and research interests with our PhD program, which prepares them to take on more senior leadership roles in health systems, biotech companies, or state and federal health administrations, among others.
