This is the role of a biomedical informatics degree holder. New healthcare information systems, including a federal government mandate to establish electronic healthcare record capability in the next 10 years, and biotechnology advances, such as healthcare applications of genomics and computer-aided drug development, are creating new careers in healthcare, medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Biomedical informatics professionals apply information technology to create and maintain medical and clinical records, and to archive and analyze biological databanks. When you earn your bachelor's degree in Biomedical Informatics - in just 3 years! - you'll be prepared for a fascinating professional career in a rapidly growing industry.
