Welcome!

Welcome to the UAB MSHI Program Blog! We're glad you've taken time to come visit. We created this for most of the reasons that you can probably think of:

1. It's a greener alternative (no excess paper generated, no gas guzzling postal trucks delivering newsletters to residences).
2. It's more cost effective (cost of paper newsletter = $400, cost of blog = $0).
3. Information and events of interest can now be delivered before or as they're happening, not 3 months later.
4. Blogs enable immediate dialogue by way of the "Comments" button at the end of every post (we moderate all comments to mitigate random posters and spammers).
5. Information reaches a much broader audience of heatlh informatics professionals.

We plan to post on a bi-weekly basis and will send a courtesy e-mail notification every other month via the MSHI Alumni & Student list-serves to keep you up to date with your graduate program and your alma mater.

We always like to hear from you so please leave a comment. We look forward to moving into the 21st Century with you!
