Academics
First Biomedical and Health Informatics Ph.D. Grad
Interested in both health care and computers, Jeremy Provance found his fit as a biomedical and health informatics iPh.D. at UMKC. His goals are to understand what individuals and health systems do well to continue to encourage those practices while identifying ways to improve upon others.
Provance’s studies focused primarily on cardiovascular outcomes research through the Mid America Heart Institute at Saint Luke’s Hospital. “My mentors were so critical to my success, and the faculty were such excellent people both in and out of the classroom,” he said. “And bioinformatics is a such broad discipline – you can specialize in many different areas.”
Soon, he’ll be doing just that at the Yale School of Medicine, where he’s accepted a research position with its Vascular Medicine Outcomes Group.
