Course Outlines
This elective course is designed to integrate the theory learned in the Health Information Management program with practical experience of a hospital or healthcare setting. Students have the opportunity to observe and practice a wide range of skills outlined in the academic courses, thereby facilitating a transfer directly to the workplace. The Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) has an established set of learning objectives students should meet as part of a practical experience course. As well, students develop a set of personal learning objectives and in conjunction with the agency and course instructor, agree on a learning plan. Students are required to secure their own placement opportunity with an appropriate healthcare facility, agency or service provider in their local area. The Program Manager must approve the location before a student begins any practical experience hours.
