Internship Year:

The internship is an integral part of the Bachelor of Health Informatics degree program, in which students have the opportunity to apply concepts and skills learned in the classroom to the practice of healthcare administration. After the successful completion of eight semesters of coursework, students are required to complete 48 weeks (excluding holidays) internship in an approved healthcare institution. The intent of the program is to provide relevant organizational experience to students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to work before completing their bachelor degree.

Purpose

The essence of internship should be experiential learning and integrative. Specifically, the internship will ensure that students demonstrate and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills as well as management competencies in applied, experiential settings. This practical learning experience as an important component of our curriculum will require students to draw upon, apply and synthesize knowledge, and skills covered throughout the Health Informatics program of study.

Internship is required for all students enrolled in the Health Informatics Program. The internship will provide a learning environment where students can experience real work experience and work on tasks and projects relevant to their academic program and professional interests.

General objectives

The purpose of the Health Informatics program internship is to provide students with opportunities in a practical environment to:
- Acquire and demonstrate competencies required with the day-to-day work of a health informatics professional.
- Integrate and apply the academic theory and knowledge acquired in the classroom to the actual practice of health informatics.
- Encourage students to have the confidence in their practical abilities in order to successfully accomplish the actual job tasks in future
- Allow students to assess the suitability of his/her qualifications for and commitment to the profession of health informatics.
