The Department of Biomedical Informatics (BMI) supports a partnership between academic researchers, clinical practitioners and regional health care providers to advance research and education in the science and practice of biomedical informatics.

BMI is currently offering an M.S. degree and a Ph.D. degree in the field. The core program will feature four courses for M.S. students and five course for Ph.D. students specifically designed to bring together clinicians and researchers in teams, applying new developments in informatics theory to clinical practice, a common request among the constituencies surveyed when planning the degree. The core courses feature an introductory course, a two-semester sequence in methodology and a course in problem solving with an emphasis on the latest software and systems solutions.

Located in the Samuel C. Johnson Research Building on Mayo Clinic's Scottsdale campus, BMI is an integral component of ASU's collaborations with Mayo Clinic.
