Health Informatics Personal Statement

I have been looking for long to pursue something in the field of healthcare, and I think this program will open new doors of learning and success for me. Masters in Health Informatics program blends healthcare and technology very well, so this gives an added advantage to it. I have done a lot of volunteer work back in India which involved going and serving people in the remote areas. I have seen people suffering and not getting proper health treatment due to lack of availability. There were many instances where the hospitals or the doctor’s offices were not able to take the advantage of the technology. Healthcare and technology were living separately for years but now they both go hand in hand. I strongly feel that when healthcare and technology meet the outcome is unprecedented. This program gives a platform where I can do something constructive in the field of healthcare. With the help of technology, doctor’s availability to remote and rural areas has also increased, and they are now within the reach of patients through mobile phones in case of emergency. I am also a firm believer that it is never too late to study or to learn anything new.

This course uses the technology to provide high-class health information and benefits, not only to the people but to the healthcare professionals as well. Being an online program, it will also allow me to fulfill my personal responsibilities with greater ease. This program gives me the flexibility to pursue my studies from home. Since my husband works as a full-time employee for the University of Cincinnati, it will help me financially to a great extent as my tuition fee will be covered under tuition
