Curriculum
The MBMI program requires students to complete 10 course units, including required courses, electives, and a capstone project. In addition, students must complete the online HIPAA and CITI training modules required of all PSOM students. MBMI students are also expected to participate in the annual Informatics Day, organized by the Institute for Biomedical Informatics.
The MBMI course sequence is flexible, allowing students to pursue required courses and electives at their own pace, provided they complete all requirements within 4 years of matriculation. A typical student might complete the program in two years.
