Medical Informatics Home Area
The Medical Informatics Home Area is UCLA’s nexus for interdisciplinary training in biomedical informatics and data science. UCLA provides a unique environment to bring together cutting-edge expertise and experience in a dynamic environment for PhD graduate students engaged at the intersection of engineering, medicine, public health, and other related fields — and focusing on the goal of transforming modern healthcare through contemporary data-driven methods and tools. Drawing on leading experts from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Public Health; and the College of Letters & Science, our Home Area faculty cover the breadth of medical informatics research. Students participate in team science in new, immersive ways — translating the latest methods from computer science, (bio)statistics, and other areas to solve real-world clinical challenges and to imagine the future of digital medicine.
Medical Informatics Home Area outcomes by the numbers. Additional general information on UCLA PhD programs can be found at our institution's Graduate Program Statistics, and for postdocs, through the Postdoctoral Dashboard.
