Medical Informatics Program Overview
“At the convergence of health care and information technology lies the exciting, evolving field of medical informatics. The SCS part-time MMI program prepares students for opportunities across the spectrum of patient care delivery, from designing and implementing electronic record systems for hospitals and private entities, to consulting with physician practices. Students explore current and emerging health IT systems, while developing essential skills such as change management and negotiation. Whether a student has a clinical or IT background, the program provides assigned, course tracks to build specific skill sets. Students also benefit from a partnership with the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, a leader in the wired medical community. The MMI program also provides preparation for board certification in medical informatics, a designated medical subspecialty. Fully accredited, SCS online courses marry the best aspects of online technology with the interactivity of the classroom in a format designed to work with students' busy schedules”.
