| Health Informatics is the study of how health data are collected, stored and communicated; how those data are processed into health information suitable for administrative and clinical decision making; and how computer and telecommunication technologies can be applied to support these processes.
This program is designed to appeal to those students who wish to follow a more technical career path in health informatics. There is less emphasis placed on the administrative side of health informatics and an increased importance placed on technical aspects. More details of this program may be found here. This program has a mandatory co-op component.
