Program Description

Program Description

As a Medical Informatician, you stand apart from other information scientists because of your medical knowledge and your understanding of the specific role and significance of information in the complex world of healthcare. You are more an expert in information analysis, representation, system design, implementation and evaluation than in developing the advanced technologies which underlie information systems. The Master of Science in Medical Informatics at the University of Amsterdam Academic Medical Centre (AMC-UvA) is a unique course, the only one of its kind in the Netherlands.

With an MSc in Medical Informatics, you will be responding to the ever-growing need for a sound scientific approach to knowledge and information in the modern health services. A qualified Medical Informatician is able to identify, analyse, describe and solve medical information problems. In so doing, the selection, synthesis and evaluation of information science theories, models and methods play an important role. You also draw upon knowledge from related disciplines, such as computer science, medicine, business studies, logistical management and the social sciences.
