Public Health Informatics
Public Health Informatics Application Track
teaches students to apply informatics-based strategies to address population and public health problems and goals. Population health is a broad domain involving a variety of data sources (e.g., clinical, environmental, social media), stakeholders (e.g., individuals, communities, public health agencies, clinical settings), and strategies (e.g., surveillance, decision support, standards-based case reporting, consumer health, nutritional interventions). Students must demonstrate competency in
-
analyzing a population health problem, particularly focusing on prevention, exposure assessment, risk reduction, or disease control
-
using industry-standard strategies for communicating processes and system design
-
developing expertise in at least one informatics-related methodology (e.g., novel surveillance using NLP applied to social media, implementation of applied technology for behavioral health coordination of care)
