The PhD program in Biomedical Informatics is part of the Coordinated Doctoral Programs in the Biomedical Sciences and trains students in a scientific approach to the use of information in health care and biomedicine. Students enrolled in the predoctoral program must attend full-time as required by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS). The first two years are generally devoted to coursework and research, and successful completion of two qualifying exams leading to candidacy. The third and fourth years focus on research leading to the doctoral dissertation. Course approval forms are to be completed by the students and their academic advisor at the beginning of each semester. Progress in the doctoral program is tracked each semester using a set of standard reporting forms.
