HIMSS Approved Education Partner SealUthealth生物医学信息学学院(SBMI)是美国第一所提供健康信息学实践学位的学校。健康信息学博士学位(DHI)提供了独特的课程,该课程是为执行级专业人员定制的,该专业人员在健康信息学领域寻求终端,应用学位。

该计划最适合在管理或监督级别具有至少三(3)年的信息经验的个人。在她或其背景中缺乏大量信息学的申请人至少必须提高IT工作经验。

The DHI is a 63-semester credit hour program for students who already hold a master’s degree in health informatics, or a related field. Students without a master’s degree in health informatics, or a related field, can enter the program with a bachelor’s degree. However, those students must complete 33 semester credit hours of didactic coursework before starting the DHI curriculum.

This practice doctorate provides informatics leaders with the advanced education required to translate evidence from original research, evaluate current practices, and utilize critical thinking to accelerate the adoption of best informatics practices in clinical and healthcare organizations. Because the program is geared towards working professionals, instruction for the DHI is in a hybrid environment with more than 50% of the coursework taught online. Students will be required to make visits to SBMI’s campus each semester to meet with their classmates, instructors and advisors.

Rather than write a dissertation for the culminating project, the DHI program requires a large-scale translational project that students must complete in a healthcare organization.
