About the program
The Graduate Certificate in Health Terminology Standards is a 1-year, part-time program with four graduate level courses done through weekly online evening classes and a virtual workshop.
If you work in the health industry and are involved with or have an interest in health terminologies and standards, interoperable electronic health record, and clinical coding and classification, then this Certificate is for you. The program is intended to meet national and international needs for best practices in controlled terminologies used in the health industry.
Graduates of this program are eligible for the Canadian College of Health Information Management Terminology Standards Specialist Certification.
To apply, you need to have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. If you do not have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution, but if you have significant relevant work experience, you are encouraged to apply for admission consideration.
Those accepted into the MSc program in Health Informatics at the School can also apply the certificate courses toward their MSc degree.
