The Certificate in Public Health Informatics (Cert-PHI) is a 9-12 month program designed to prepare professionals for leadership positions that bridge information technology and public health.
Students who complete the certificate will be able to implement and manage public health information systems, including: vital statistics systems, online analytic processing tools that support decision-making, immunization registries, population health surveillance, community health information networks, and electronic public health data interchange.
