Ready to become a vital piece in Canada’s healthcare puzzle? Eastern College’s Health Information Management (HIM) program blends flexible learning, real-world preparation, and national accreditation, all tailored to your success.
1. CHIMA-Accredited & Career-Ready
Our HIM diploma is officially accredited by the Canadian College of Health Information Management (CCHIM), based on the most current standards. That means you will emerge equipped with the competencies today’s healthcare employers value most. You can even write the National Certification Examination (NCE) right after graduation, your first step to becoming a Certified Health Information Management professional.
2. Learning That Mirrors Real Life
Say goodbye to outdated theory. You will train using WinRecs (Med2020) and EHRGo simulation software, giving you hands-on experience coding and managing patient records mirroring tools used in real-world Health Information departments.
This 73-week online diploma also includes an 8-week internship, so you are not just studying: you are working in a real health information setting. On top of that, Eastern College covers your first NCE exam fee, and provides a CHIMA student membership throughout your studies, resources and networks included.
