Interprofessional training is so important for student healthcare professionals. For example, when a healthcare team responds to an emergency in a patient's room, who takes the lead? How do healthcare professionals from different disciplines and with different priorities communicate? Yesterday our students physical therapists trained with student physician assistants from the Morehouse School of Medicine Physician Assistant Program and standardized patients. MSMPAP has been our partner in this training for the past four years, and together we're making sure that tomorrow's healthcare providers practice at the top of their profession. #thestateway

When Fiorella Lozada-Perdomo learned about Georgia State University Health Informatics' fully online M.S. in Health Sciences with a concentration in Health Informatics, fate took over. Despite her initial reluctance because of her work schedule, the online format allowed her to comfortably pursue graduate school. This program seemed to connect her interest in data analysis and health care. Read more about her story here: https://lnkd.in/gWCXWSEK

From enhancing patient care with advanced data analytics to streamlining administrative processes, health informatics stands at the intersection of technology and healthcare. Understanding these developments is key to leveraging our potential for a healthier future.
