Our program will adopt a broad approach that incorporates clinical, consumer, and public health informatics.
We are particularly interested in faculty candidates whose research
interests complement our existing expertise in such areas as social
computing, computer-supported cooperative work, human-computer
interaction, incentive-centered design, social informatics, large-scale
data analysis, and information seeking, sharing and use.
The University of Michigan's new two-year master's degree in health
informatics will be offered jointly by the School of Public Health and
the School of Information (pending approval). It will combine School of
Information strengths with those of the School of Public Health in
health care management, health policy, health behavior, health
