Abstract:
Despite the fact that health informatics (HI) educational opportunities in Canada have increased by 40% over the last 3 years, there are few opportunities for advanced research or credentialing at the MSc and PhD levels. Existing programs are also not easily accessible to working health care professionals, who require flexible, non-traditional delivery options for basic to advanced HI training. This strategy report proposes an overall vision, 3 goals, 4 tactical initiatives and a set of action items to improve the effectiveness of HI education in Canada
