Administrators

The administration of the University of Illinois at Chicago Health Informatics department sets the direction for the program by establishing priorities that support our overall mission.

The primary responsibilities of the administration include overseeing program operations, setting policies, and developing strategies to turn the program’s vision for the future into a reality. In making these decisions, the program’s leaders consult with our faculty, staff, students, and the university administration.

We are dedicated to our goal of being the unparalleled leader in health informatics education.
