Jay Spitulnik is the director of the Health Informatics graduate program at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences. Spitulnik earned both his bachelor’s in philosophy and his master’s in educational media and technology from Boston University, and his doctorate in organizational psychology from Walden University. He brings a wealth of experience from corporate learning and the healthcare industry to Khoury College.
Spitulnik’s research focus evolved as a result of 10 years of organization development and project management experience in the healthcare industry. He discovered that a great deal of attention was given to the physician-nurse relationship affecting patient outcomes and the patient experience, and the little amount of research concerning physician relationships with other members of the care team.
Spitulnik has been an individual contributor, a manager, and both an internal and external consultant. The work that led him to Northeastern was more than 10 years working in the healthcare industry, including extensive experience managing IT projects and consulting with IT project managers.
Spitulnik grew up in Hornell, New York.
