If you are motivated to apply the tools and approaches of informatics to the pursuit of improving health care, advancing our understanding of disease, or enhancing professional and public health education, consider the extraordinary opportunity our federally funded training program may afford you. For nearly three decades the National Library of Medicine has been supporting research training in biomedical informatics with the Division of Health Informatics at the University of Minnesota being one of the premier national training sites from the outset. Our past training grant awardees work in academia, healthcare and professional organizations, industry, and private practice. This web site introduces you to this outstanding opportunity to learn and build a rewarding and stimulating career.
Health Informatics is at the crossroads where health data, information, and knowledge meet, be they focused at the level of the gene, cell, organ, individual or group. Research training in Health Informatics effectively broadens the skills and career potential of healthcare professionals in medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine as well as those with strong backgrounds in computer and information sciences who want to contribute to advances in the health of society. The study of health informatics exposes motivated individuals to new problem solving techniques, analytic methods, system thinking, and technology tools so they can create and evaluate systems and tools that address the needs of healthcare delivery, biomedical research and education.
