Two courses are required for the certificate program
- Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms in Python (PQHS 413)
- Computing in Biomedical and Health Informatics (PQHS 416)
You then select two courses from one of the following concentrations
- Health Informatics
- Clinical Research Informatics
- Bioinformatics
If you are interested in a 15-credit certificate, then you will select one additional elective from any of the concentrations or another elective in consultation with your academic advisor. A 15-credit certificate will appear on a Case Western Reserve transcript.
