Admission Requirements and Fees
Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
OUR PROGRAM
Health-care and information systems professionals currently employed or with experience in a health-care or technology environment, or who have an interest in the advancement of information technologies in the health-care delivery sector, will be interested in this program. The evolution of electronic information and communication tools is transforming the health-care system and creating new ways of accessing and exchanging information that will impact the health-care sector. This graduate certificate program brings together professionals in health-related and information technology sectors to develop specialists in health informatics to better respond to the current and emerging needs of health-care systems. A comprehensive portfolio assessment phase will assist students in developing and mapping their learning plan for initial and ongoing engagement in the program. Students will interact within a technology-rich setting and be exposed to a variety of co-operative learning environments that include traditional classroom settings, computer laboratories, interactive living laboratories, and simulated learning environments as part of their educational experience. The Health Informatics program provides breadth and depth of applied knowledge in the field of health-care informatics. Ethical, professional, legal, and policy implications of health information systems technologies and health information standards are emphasized throughout the curriculum. Principles of leadership, project management, and individual and organizational change management are also addressed as themes throughout the program. The program is focused on developing specialists with a “dual” perspective who can integrate computing and managerial knowledge and experience with health-related knowledge and experience. Graduates of the program will acquire knowledge, skills and competencies relevant in professional certification programs in Health Informatics/Information and Management Systems. Upon completion, graduates will be able to meet the requirements for positions such as clinical/IT project manager, health technology leader, clinical informatics specialist or health technology education/training specialist. PART-TIME STUDY OPTIONSWe also offer part-time programs in Health Records and Health Information Management. See the Continuing Education Course Guide at coned.georgebrown.ca.
