Education

Biomedical Data Science and Informatics (BDSI) Ph.D. Program

The BDSI joint Program between Clemson and MUSC began enrolling students in the Fall of 2017. Biomedical data science and informatics is an interdisciplinary field that applies concepts and methods from computer science and other quantitative disciplines together with principles of information science to solve challenging problems in biology, medicine, and public health. Specialized tracks include precision medicine, population health, and clinical and translational informatics.

The program is a unique collaboration that brings together Clemson’s strengths in computing, engineering, and public health and MUSC's expertise in biomedical sciences to produce the next generation of data scientists, prepared to manage and analyze big data sources from mobile sensors to genomic and imaging technologies.

Biomedical Informatics and Data Science for Health Research (SC BIDS4Health) Training Program

SC BIDS4Health is a training program that funded by a grant from NIH National Library of Medicine (T15 LM013977). Building on the curricular ecosystem of the joint MUSC-Clemson Biomedical Data Science and Informatics Ph.D. program and in cooperation with South Carolina State University, this program supports a cohort of graduate students and postdocs interested in the application of data science techniques to address health inequities.

Master of Science in Health Informatics (MSHI)

The Master of Science in Health Informatics (MSHI) program at MUSC is designed to ensure graduates are prepared to select, implement, use, and evaluate health care information systems such as electronic health records (EHRs), data management, and analytic systems.

The program is primarily for working health care professionals who desire to specialize in the field of health care information systems, data management, and analytic systems.
