Master in Gesundheits- und klinischer Informatik

Health and clinical informatics transform health care by analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems to improve patient care, enhance access to care, advance individual and population health outcomes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. Professionals in clinical informatics occupy a wide variety of positions in health care, research, government, and other institutions, where they use data and information to improve individual health, health care delivery, public health, and biomedical research.

The OHSU Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program offers degrees in clinical informatics at the graduate certificate, master's, and Ph.D. level. The programs are primarily designed to meet the educational needs of two types of students – the health care professional seeking additional training in information management and technology and the non-healthcare professional seeking training in understanding health care and its use of information and technology.

OHSU's singular focus on improving health starts with Oregonians and has a global impact. We are the only academic health center in Oregon, but we're also nationally distinct as a university dedicated solely to advancing health sciences. This allows us to concentrate resources on research to prevent and cure disease, on education that prepares physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health professionals to succeed in an evolving health care environment, and on patient care that incorporates the latest knowledge and discoveries.

Based in Portland, we have 17,532 employees, operate the top-ranked adult and children's hospitals in Oregon, and secure competitive research funding of more than $450 million a year. As a public organization, we provide community outreach and services for Oregon's most vulnerable populations.
