Master of Science in Medical Informatics
Medical informatics has quickly expanded as a field as we face modern and complex questions in health care systems and resulting health outcomes. This program unifies computational informatics training with knowledge of healthcare systems and research methods to prepare a dual-trained medical informaticist capable of adapting computational techniques to healthcare associated questions. Database management and analysis pipelines as well as decision analyses, health data security, and cost-effective analysis form part of the skills gained in our MS in Medical Informatics. Additionally, training in managing and analyzing electronic health records (EHR) through this program will equip the student with skills as they prepare to enter the workforce post-graduation. The access to elective coursework in neighboring fields in this MS program provides abundant opportunities for deepening training in desired skillsets to enhance the focus on medical informatics.
Dartmouth’s Master of Science degree in Medical Informatics trains highly qualified students to identify and solve health care system challenges with ingenuity and effectiveness. This degree provides an unmatched interdisciplinary education in the areas of data analysis, health systems pipelines, computer science, epidemiology, and healthcare for careers in government, health care, health system management, and medical research.
Dartmouth’s Medical Informatics degree challenges students to gain computational skills applicable to health studies in a collaborative and multidisciplinary setting.
Students take a combination of core and elective courses, with an optional capstone completing their Master of Science degree in 12-15 months.
