"Health informatics (HI) has the potential to address health disparities and improve healthcare outcomes; however, lack of diversity in the workforce, especially at advanced levels, feeds disparities. Increasing participation from underrepresented minorities requires exposure and connection to the field and career opportunities. Morehouse School of Medicine created the no-cost, 5-week intensive online Bridges to Health Informatics (B2HI) program at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) to connect participants from backgrounds underrepresented in HI with industry-relevant skills, professional certification, business experience, and graduate training opportunities." This academic publication details the context, strategy, and outcomes of this new and now ongoing program.
