The colleagues and faculty from SBMI are what I like most! So many students are in the professional field of clinical informatics and have war stories to share about EHR deployments and 'Meaningful Use.' The faculty have won several national awards and generate great discussion in their classes. My advisors have helped springboard my personal research and guide my graduate education.
