Courses & Programmes

A Medical Information specialist is familiar with all the basic medical subjects, the way in which a doctor reasons and acts, the methodology of medical-scientific research and the organisation of healthcare. The Medical Information specialist distinguishes himself from other information specialists and information scientists through his knowledge of medical processes, care organisation processes and his insight into the specific role and meaning of information in the healthcare sector. The medical information specialist is an expert in the field of information analysis, information representation, system design, and implementation and evaluation of information systems, and in lesser extent in the field of the development of advanced technologies on which information systems are based. A medical information specialist is a skilled consultative partner of information and communication technologists as well as doctors and nurses, and thus acts as an essential bridge between the two divergent fields of medicine and informatics.
