Students will have the opportunity to develop and implement a health informatics or health analytics project within a host organization, or within their workplace. Students will identify a health care need/ problem and use the methodologies learned in the HIA program to address the problem including creating new data management resources, optimizing current data systems, conducting data analytics, building machine learning algorithms, deploying clinical decision support systems, designing and evaluating new technology solutions. Students will engage with problems in a variety of settings: clinical, research, and industry (health technology companies, pharmaceutical companies). During the Capstone Practicum, students will have the opportunity to continue developing these skills, while they earn recognition for their professional competence, technical skills and leadership acumen. The program will also aid students in identifying viable Capstone projects and establishing a preceptor for oversight and mentorship.
