Douglas College’s Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management (BScHIM) has received accreditation from the Canadian College of Health Information Management (CCHIM). With this accreditation, BScHIM graduates are eligible to write the CCHIM National Certification Exam to attain a Certified Health Information Management professional designation. The program—which Douglas says is the first of its kind in Canada—enables students to tailor their education to meet Canada’s current and evolving healthcare needs. “Our curriculum is responsive to student goals as well as the needs of our industry partners,” said Douglas BScHIM program coordinator Dr Patricia Visosky.
