Reimbursement/Payment
The tuition support program will cover the difference between the amount of the tuition and the amount paid through all other sources. The reimbursement will be reduced by any amount that qualifies under other Duke programs, whether or not the participant secures such reimbursement/payment. The maximum commitment from the program to any participant is $35,000 throughout the duration of the program. The amount received is taxable.
Tuition support applies to only the Master of Management in Clinical Informatics Program offered at Duke University.
Participant Commitment
Individuals selected to participate are required to sign a commitment to remain on the faculty for three years following the issuance of a degree. The signing of such commitment will not represent a guarantee of employment by the department and will not create any obligation on the part of the department, the DHIP, DUHS or Duke beyond the scope of the program.
Any participant who does not attain a degree within the standard expectations of the curriculum, or does not fulfill their entire service commitment, will forfeit the benefit and will be required to pay back all program funds reimbursed/paid by the program.
