University of Illinois at Chicago

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) health informatics program was among the first in the country to focus on the social and organizational issues affecting information technology in health care. We know it takes more than technical training for today's health care information professionals to be successful.

Blending a technical foundation with course work covering current clinical trends, government regulations and health care-specific best management practices, UIC's curriculum equips students with the analytical and managerial expertise sought after in this dynamic field.
