The MD/MS Dual Degree program is for students aiming to be both physicians and informaticians. Through this unique program, students earning a Doctor of Medicine (MD) also study at SBMI and earn a Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics during their four years of medical school.
SBMI与两所不同的UT系统医学院合作提供双学位：外围beplay
双学位学生将探索各种of applications of health and biomedical informatics in the quest to improve patient care. The program examines both electronic health records systems and clinical decision support systems and methods for enhancing those tools. Students learn about data interpretation and knowledge management as they discover how to collect, process, and transform health and biomedical data into health information and knowledge. Dual Degree students will understand core clinical informatics disciplines such as technology assessment, quality and outcome improvement, data analytics and precision medicine.
Students in the dual degree program must satisfy admission requirements and be admitted separately to each program. Students must meet the requirements of each program for its respective degree. Admission to one program does not ensure admission to the other. Students in the dual degree program will receive a diploma from each degree program after meeting the individual requirements of each program. Admission does not have to be done at the same semester for each school but must be done before reaching the maximum hours set by each School.
The applicant should present a completed application and official documentation of the following:
SBMI入学，进步和毕业委员会（APG）委员会将将申请人材料组织成投资组合，以供审查。委员会将考虑以下领域：
Fall admission - July 1
Spring admission - November 1
Summer admission - March 1
Transfer credit is not accepted for students enrolled in the dual degree program due to the amount of shared credit hours between SBMI and the participating institution.
Courses that are being accepted at SBMI through a dual or joint degree program can only be transferred into the SBMI degree plan if the grade earned in the course is a “B” or higher. Courses for which grades of less than “B” were earned will not be accepted for transfer.
Academic Requirements
Each student follows a degree plan developed with the guidance of SBMI’s Office of Academic Affairs. A total of 39 semester credit hours must be completed prior to graduation.
从入学到完成所需的课程工作的双学位课程的全日制学生最长五年（15个学期）。从进入所需的课程工作开始，兼职学生就有长达十年（30个学期）。除非获得批准，否则需要连续入学。该计划的延续最多将允许批准休假一年。如果有超过一年的休假，则学生必须申请入再入院。
生物医学信息学学位计划中的BMI前缀的每个课程都是研究生级别，专业课程，必须以“ B”或更好的成绩通过。学生必须在所有双学位课程课程中获得“ B”或更高的成绩，除非该课程是按通过或失败的基础进行分级的，以便必须获得“通过”等级。如果双学位学生在任何必需的课程中的收入低于“ b”，则必须重新进行该计划。在第二次尝试防止该计划解雇的尝试中，必须获得“ B”或更高的等级。毕业所需的最低平均分数为3.0 BMI课程。
Computer Requirement
Every student is required to have reliable access to a computer that meets the minimum requirements. Students are encouraged to purchase a laptop that meets the minimum UTHealth requirements. Computer requirements are listed on the website(https://sbmi.uth.edu/current-students/student-handbook/computer-requirements.htm）并可能发生变化。
传统曲目
双学位课程至少需要39个学期学时才能赚取MS，包括在生物医学信息学领域的实践经验完成。学生必须接受27个学期的SBMI课程学分，并从学生的MD课程中获得12个学期的学分。MS学位的双度课程包括：
Uthealth的McGovern医学院Modules accepted by SBMI for the Dual Degree Program
Doctoring 1 Module: History and Physical (MS Year 1) – 4 semester credit hours
Doctoring 2 Module: Longitudinal Clinical Experience (MS Year 1) – 4 semester credit hours
Doctoring 3 Module: Longitudinal Clinical Experience (MS Year 2) – 4 semester credit hours
Total – 12 semester credit hours
UTRGV School of Medicine Modules accepted by SBMI for the Dual Degree Program
Medi 8117：医学分子模块（MS 1年） - 3个学期学时
MEDI 8119: Attack & Defense (Evidence Based Medicine) (MS Year 1) – 3 semester credit hours
MEDI 8111-01 & 8111-02: Medicine, Behavior & Society (MS Year 1 & 2) – 3 semester credit hours
MEDI 8511: Mind, Brain and Behavior (MS Year 2) – 3 semester credit hours
Total – 12 semester credit hours
Students in the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics must select an area of interest in which to apply the knowledge and skill gained during the didactic courses while participating in the required practicum course. Dual Degree students in the MD/MS program must complete at least 24 credit hours in their master’s program before participating in the practicum requirement. Students should work with the Practicum Coordinator for any necessary affiliation or program agreements with the practicum site, if agreements are not already in place. A practicum proposal must be submitted to the Practicum Coordinator by week three of the semester of enrollment in the practicum course and it must be approved, in writing, by the student’s Faculty Practicum Advisor. Students can complete all required practicum credit hours during one semester or the course can be repeated for a maximum of 3 semester credit hours (for BMI 6000) to meet degree requirements. During the course of the semester(s), student must create weekly logs to chronicle their hours, tasks, and reflections on how the duties of the practicum relate to Biomedical Informatics courses taken. Once the student has logged all 135 clock hours and concluded all practicum projects, she or he must create an 18 page, double spaced capstone report that details the major project they completed during their practicum. This report, along with other deliverables, will be submitted in completion of the practicum. If students have any questions regarding the practicum, they can contact the Practicum Coordinator or the Office of Academic Affairs.
