An Interdisciplinary Approach
Addressing the technological challenges of tomorrow cannot be done in isolation. With this in mind, the graduate certificate in Integrated Health Systems takes a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, comprising areas as diverse as information science, human-computer interaction, and health informatics.
Outcomes
Our partnerships with leading area health care organizations such as Upstate Medical Center, MedTech, Welch Allyn and the Veterans Health Administration can help you turn an internship into a future career. Credits from this program may be applied to a master’s degree in human-computer interaction or biomedical and health informatics.
