Overview

The Department of Biomedical Informatics, within the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is home to graduate degree programs in biomedical informatics. The graduate degree programs in Biomedical Informatics includes a Doctorate of Philosophy, Master of Science, a Professional Master’s degree and a Graduate Certificate.

Educational Goals

The educational goals of the program are specific to each educational level.

Certificate

The student will deepen knowledge and increase skills, ability to apply biomedical informatics principles and methods within an area of practice and to conceptualize, plan, conduct and report an applied Biomedical Informatics project.
