HI 5200 Practicum
Students will design an experience to learn the practical aspects of a career in health informatics. Students may identify opportunities curated by the Health Informatics program, inside the UTSW community, within partnering health systems, health IT operational teams, health information technology companies, startups, or health information consulting companies based on expressed interests and career goals. Other experiences to utilize may include participation in additional specialized training, the pursuit of a technical certification, and attendance at conferences related to the field of health informatics. All experiences must be pre-approved and congruent with the program objectives.
Upon completion of the course, students will gain measurable experience and a better understanding of careers in health informatics. Deliverables for the course are related to the individual practicum proposal created by the student and approved by the course director.
