The online Masters in Applied Clinical Informatics (MS-ACI) is a two-year program designed to train  physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals – including health IT professionals — interested in obtaining in-depth expertise in clinical informatics. We anticipate our students will have current clinical or administrative responsibilities in health care organizations and vary in their background knowledge. Entry  into the program does not require that students have a background in computer science, though it is recommended that students consider taking at least one entry-level course in the subject if they have no prior computational experience.
