Students in the Professional Science Master’s in Biomedical and Health Informatics Program complete an internship that synthesizes knowledge gleaned from the program curriculum. The purpose of the internship is to expand classroom learning to include “hands-on” experience in health IT, in the context of a particular industry sector.
Holli White, a PSM in Biomedical and Health Informatics student graduating this spring, will be presenting her internship project:
Neurocognitive Disorders: Cognitive Assessment in the Elderly and a Systematic Review of Mobile Concussion Technology on Friday, April 6 at 1:30pm EST.
Abstract: There is a staggering prevalence of neurocognitive disorders annually in the United States and proper assessment is crucial in ensuring appropriate treatment and patient care. Proper treatment can improve patient outcomes and quality of life, as well as reduce the impact of lost productivity and healthcare cost. My internship work was aiding Dr. Vizer, PhD, Assistant Research Professor for School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, in two projects related to neurocognitive disorders: the first around cognitive impairment in older adults and the redesign of standard assessment tools for UNC providers and the second related to a systematic review of mobile technology for concussion assessment or education.
