The PhD Program in Medical
Informatics is a new interdisciplinary program
offered by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
in collaboration between several academic units
at UWM and the Medical College of Wisconsin. The
program is housed in the College of Engineering
and Applied Science, and is guided by a Steering
Committee consisting of faculty from the following
participating units:

Medical Informatics is a field that combines
medical science and information technology. Students
in the doctoral program will train to become future
leaders in the use of information systems in healthcare
delivery, research and education. A unique feature
of this PhD program is its interdisciplinary approach.
The program combines the collective strengths
in the participating units to offer advanced training
that integrates clinical and administrative applications
of information technology in medicine and health
care.
The program curriculum includes core course work
in human pathophysiology, databases, medical informatics
and medical ethics. Students can specialize in
one of the following four areas of concentration:
- Knowledge Based Systems
- Health Services Management and Policy
- Health Information Systems
- Medical Imaging and Instrumentation
