The University of Minnesota has been a frontrunner in research, training and practice of biomedical and health informatics since 1965. The Institute for Health Informatics (IHI) leads the inter-professional discovery, application, and teaching of health information and decision sciences to improve the health of individuals and communities. The IHI has a diverse faculty from across the Academic Health Center, which includes the health professional schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Veterinary Medicine; University of Minnesota Health; and across the University (Management, Biological Sciences, Science and Engineering, Design etc.)

Es besteht für MIB- und MIM-Student*innen die Möglichkeit, die Abschlussarbeit in Kooperation mit der University of Minnesota zu schreiben.

Die Betreuung findet nicht über das International Office statt, sondern direkt über die Ansprechpartner*innen der Fakultät.

The wide-ranging research interests of faculty and students include Natural Language Processing, Telehealth, Data Mining, Ontologies, Human-Computer Interaction, Visualization, and Clinical Informatics. IHI faculty and staff are also active partners in the University’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), the Minnesota Department of Health’s e-Health Advisory Committee and Annual Summit, and the Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics between Mayo Clinic and the University.

The IHI offers three graduate degrees: Master of Health Informatics, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. The University of Minnesota has been part of IPHIE since 1999, with faculty and students participating in many research and teaching exchanges. With support from Allina, Mayo Clinic, and the Minnesota Department of Health, IHI faculty have hosted the IPHIE Master Classes three times, most recently in 2012.

IPHIE – International Partnership in Health Informatics Education

The Department of Biomedical Informatics was established in 1964 at the University of Utah. Located in Salt Lake City, the department is internationally recognized as a leader in biomedical informatics research and education. The department has a National Library of Medicine (NLM) training grant to support its educational programs. Master of Science, Non-Thesis Master of Science, Certificate and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs are offered along with short-term trainee-ships for students and visiting fellows. Research affiliations include the University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Intermountain Health Care facilities, the Veterans Administration Medical Center, HealthInsight (the Peer Review Organization for Utah and Nevada), and the Utah Department of Health.

As one of the largest biomedical informatics training programs in the world, the department’s faculty and students are a diverse group with a wide range of experience and interests. The Department routinely draws international scholars (both faculty and students) from across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, including Fulbright scholars.

IPHIE – International Partnership in Health Informatics Education

The University of Washington (UW) in Seattle offers an exceptional range of training opportunities in the field of Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI). The Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education in the UW School of Medicine is the primary home of BHI training activities, operating in collaboration with the Schools of Engineering, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health and Community Medicine, as well as the Information School. 

The BHI academic program offers MS and PhD degrees in addition to a certificate directed to current students in other UW graduate programs seeking a credential in the field. It also offers pre-doctoral and postdoctoral funding supported by the NLM to students and scholars seeking advanced training. The BHI program engages students and faculty in interdisciplinary collaborations that contribute to best leveraging the value of the field to its broader constituencies. It draws on the strength of being located at a top-tier research institution with internationally acclaimed expertise in computational sciences, basic biomedical sciences, public health, and nursing research—located in the renowned biotechnology environment of the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
