UW Master of Health Informatics and Health Information Management (MHIHIM) courses are taught in a flexible hybrid (hyflex) format, where students can attend online or in-person while learning from the same instructor at the same time. A few highly recommended, in-person sessions are held at our classroom location in Bellevue, Washington. However, for most of the program, students can choose whether to attend classes in person or remotely.
Our Bellevue classrooms are equipped with hyflex technology that allows for remote participation via a live-session virtual meeting platform. Each course has a hyflex facilitator who assists with any technology issues or concerns, ensuring an equitable experience for remote and in-person students.
