Credential: Graduate Certificate
Field of Study: Health Informatics
Program Overview
Students who want to explore Biomedical and Health Informatics without—or before—committing to a Master’s program, can take a series of four or five courses that provide an overview and grounding in the fundamentals with practical applications in research, clinical care and population health. If a student chooses to continue to a Master’s program within our department, all courses are transferable. This program can take from one year up to two and a half years to complete, depending on the student's chosen pace.
This 15 credit hour Graduate Certificate is issued through the School of Graduate Studies and will show on an official Case Western Reserve transcript. The department also offers a Departmental Graduate Certificate that does not show on an official Case Western Reserve University transcript. Please review the School of Medicine Program page for additional information.
