What are the future career opportunities with degree in Biomedical Informatics?
The best way to gauge career opportunities is to look at the outcomes of our graduates. About half of our Ph.D. graduates join academic departments in computer science, computer engineering, genetics, medicine, radiology, pediatrics, statistics or other academic departments–often in medical schools, but sometimes on main campuses. The other half of Ph.D. graduates work in industry (pharmaceutical, biotech, startups, consulting), usually with an emphasis on research & development. MS students often pursue a Ph.D., M.D., Law or other advanced degree, either at Stanford or elsewhere (in BMI, CS or one of the biological sciences). They also get jobs in industry. Some of our students graduate with an MD/MS. These graduates often become clinical faculty at medical schools. See the BMI website under “People Directory” for current positions of our alumni.
