The University of Texas Health Science Center's School of Biomedical Informatics offers certificate programs in health informatics and public health informatics along with a master's degree and doctoral degree in health informatics. The program of study involves 42-hours at the graduate level -- for full time students that takes five semesters, and for part-time students that takes up to three semesters. Offering face-to-face classes or online learning methods, students learn the core curriculum of clinical informatics, learning and technology, cognitive informatics and computational biomedicine.
Arizona State University's Department of Biomedical Informatics offers a core program consisting of four courses for master of science students and five for Ph.D. students within their 32-credit study hour program. Program courses include clinical informatics, knowledge discovery, imaging informatics and public health informatics. These are designed to bring together teams of researchers and clinicians to create new developments in informatics theory. Courses include a two-semester sequence in methodology, a course in problem solving and an introductory course that uses the latest in software systems.
The Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Utah allows students to apply for graduate certificate programs, non-degree programs, a master of science or a doctor of philosophy degree in biomedical informatics. Students can also take interdisciplinary training in health services, nursing informatics and international health informatics education exchange programs. The biomedical department offers fall semester core courses such as foundation of medical informatics and public health informatics; and spring semester courses in biomedical informatics and research design. Students must also take courses in research ethics during one of their first three semesters.
The biomedical informatics program at the Stanford School of Medicine covers training in clinical informatics, public healthcare informatics and bioinformatics. Clinical informatics classes teach students relevant patient care. Public health informatics courses encompass the methods related to the entire health field. Bioinformatics courses teach students basic biology and other subjects. Graduate programs include a Ph.D. degree, and several master's options: full-time, residential, research-oriented masters, part-time distance education masters, and a co-terminal masters that is restricted to Stanford undergraduates.
