CIPCT Faculty


Each student in the Clinical Informatics and Patient-Centered Technologies (CIPCT) Online Master of Science program is assigned to an Academic Advisor at the start of the program. Your Academic Advisor will provide advice and guidance on your academic progress through the CIPCT program.  In addition, they will serve as a resource to help new students identify appropriate project and internship opportunities.


CIPCT students will eventually select a Scholarly Project or Thesis advisor. This advisor does not have to be the same as your Academic Advisor and can be drawn from the pool of University of Washington (UW) faculty in both the School of Nursing and the School of Medicine's Department of Medical Education and Biomedical Informatics.


The following UW faculty members have worked extensively in the past with CIPCT students, either as Advisors or Instructors, or have a research focus that may be of interest to CIPCT students.
