Dominican University New York launched a Public Health Informatics & Technology (PHIT) Force program in the Fall term of 2022 to expand its educational offering and increase the number of health professionals trained in public health informatics and technology. Dominican’s existing Health Sciences and IT programs joined forces to deliver the multidisciplinary course offerings which comprise the PHIT Force program. Dominican University New York is offering a five-course concentration/minor with an internship for undergraduate students and a four-course certificate for career development, available to individuals who hold a four-year degree. Dominican University’s PHIT courses are offered to other majors such as Nursing, Criminal Justice, and Social Work as a minor, concentration, or electives.
