Health Care Informatics   Health care is a technology-embracing industry. Hospitals, clinics, and assisted-living facilities need workers who understand both computers and health care. The Health Care Informatics Program at Slippery Rock University merges these two fields. The unviersity offers both an interdisciplinary minor and a post-baccalaureate certificate in Health Care Informatics. Many of the courses are offered through web-based distance education.
