Anyone looking into the registered nursing jobs Phoenix has to offer may want to consider a career in biomedical informatics.
Arizona State University recently moved its Biomedical Informatics department to Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. The move is part of an effort for the two organizations to collaborate more on healthcare, medical research, and education.
Biomedical informatics is a fairly new field that combines information science, computer science, and healthcare. Professionals in the field are working to make new discoveries in healthcare, including new ways to treat diseases and new methods to treat patients.
“Making BMI’s home at Mayo Clinic will advance biomedical informatics education and research in new and exciting ways,” ASU President Michael Crow said in a statement. “By doing this, we are connecting students, faculty, researchers and clinicians in ways that will lead to advancing the science, technology and usefulness of biomedical informatics.”
ASU and Mayo Clinic are working on a number of other collaborations, including:
- A joint nursing education program
- A variety of collaborative research projects
- Joint faculty appointments
- Dual degree programs including M.D./J.D. and M.D./M.B.A
- Joint work on the new Proton Beam Program
- Sharing in development of Mayo’s new Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery
