Public & Population Health Informatics (PHI) Fellowships

Would you like to:

improve the health and wellness of hundreds, thousands and, potentially, millions of patients using advanced analytics?
combat significant public health problems, such as the opioid, obesity or diabetes epidemics, using information technologies?
support the implementation of accountable care approaches that help coordinate healthcare delivery for large patient populations?

Public & Population Health Informatics…

applies the science of informatics to the growing needs of health systems and public health agencies to rapidly detect and study emergent phenomena;
identifies potential interventions to address health system challenges;
measures effectiveness of interventions designed to address those challenges; and
translates proven interventions into practice across health systems.

Building on your existing skills and knowledge, you will learn things like:

managing and analyzing large datasets in healthcare or public health organizations;
developing and using analytical methods to address population health challenges;
translating basic and clinical research findings into operational population-based settings;
designing, developing and evaluating health IT programs and tools in PHI; and
using social and/or behavioral science disciplines (e.g., economics, sociology, psychology and applying concepts and methods from these disciplines and their applied counterparts (e.g., organizational behavior, human-computer interaction) to solve PHI problems.
