The Full Spectrum of Biomedical Informatics Research and Education at OHSU

Although the biomedical informatics field is small relative to others in the life and health sciences, the breadth of subject domains, types of research, and occupations is vast. The biomedical informatics program at Oregon Health & Science University exemplifies the breadth in the field. At the center of our full spectrum of activities in informatics, however, is a core philosophy of the discipline that drives our research, educational, and other programs.
