Thank you! :)

You're most welcome!

An online degree would not solve the problem unless you already have some work experience in the field of Health Informatics. Online degrees are done by experienced professional just for name sake. Also, if the course is purely online or distance learning then you don't get the industry exposure which helps to get that first job if you are new. So, to compile if you are an experienced professional go ahead with online courses; otherwise for a fresher we won't recommend.

A video coming soon on the topic. For health informatics in Canada, you can look at George Brown College, McMaster University, Centennial College

You need to appear for English Proficiency Exams and should have PR to work in Canada or else you need to apply as a student to enrol in a course.

Ma'am can you tell me which is better university or college to opt for this course ?

Sure.

UBC , ucw

Job demand is good, but outside India, there is no culture of providing placements as such. You have to identify and search the opportunities with the help of your faculty and alumni.

Sure. Will get back to you on the asked queries in sometime.

WFH jobs are there but less, since it is a healthcare industry we might be required to be in the field at times. MNCs are still offering a WFH setup, but this is temporary. Eventually, as COVID declines, offices will be functional.

Thank you so much ma'am for your kind reply. May God bless you.

Good day doc,can i contact you wanted some deatils for the same ,I am a dentist too

Yes, there are diploma courses as well; but you should check with the college itself. You can ask about the industry exposure that is provided (if any), is there any internship during the course. Find out about the alumni, try connecting with them on social channels and get your queries answered.

@@bridgebuildersacademy okay thank you

No clue on this. You need to check with immigration agencies regarding this.

@@bridgebuildersacademy I think in the video the guest speaker said that she got PNP so I was wondering if it was based on her BDS background or Health informatics degree

It's McMaster University, Ontario. The course name is Master of Science in eHealth.

For which location are you asking for?

@@bridgebuildersacademy For US or Canada? Also in Netherlands

@@Bhavana1510 You can get the list easily from Google Search. These are some good portals - www.mastersportal.com/ www.hotcoursesabroad.com/

@@bridgebuildersacademy Thank you

Yes it is.

If this is the requirement, then it would be same for everyone.

No, there's nothing like that. Anyone can pursue the field and there are ramifications within the field as well. Research is one such avenue in health informatics.

Try searching on Google or Facebook, with keywords like Forums for Canada Visa, Canada Visa Forums, Canada visa groups, etc. You'll get a list of many such forums.

Would suggest you to please connect with Dr Vidhi on LinkedIn; and ask her about the program. Her profile link is mentioned in the description.

@@bridgebuildersacademy Thank you.

Hello. I have tried to connect Dr vidhi on LinkedIn but as she has a premium account, not everyone can reach her. Kindly help?

@@dr.anubhakaul1275 Please share your linkedin link, will try to get you connected with Dr. Vidhi.

Hello Anubha, Sorry for the delayed response. Actually in 2015, Ontario was nominating everyone with CRS score above 400. So it's not specific to any profession.

Yes, there is. But you would need to put in extra efforts in doing certifications and keeping yourself up-to-date with the industry.

Yes you can pursue HIT on a student visa. As far as academics is concerned, I didn't get your question are you asking for pursuing a course or getting a work opportunity?

MBA would be a better option than MHA for you.

Not sure, as the score decreases with age. You can try consulting with Y-axis or Abroad Pathway Immigration, they are working since long in this space and have good reviews on google.

Depends on the program you are applying. They have both 1-year and 2-year programs.

Not sure about Canada, but in USA you do get 3 years post study visa if you opt for MSHI.

You need to check the eligibility criteria in the college where you intend to apply. This will differ from college to college.

Please check with the various colleges for cost and duration, since it keeps changing.

@@bridgebuildersacademy thank you mam

No PR is a different process altogether; hence you won't get PR based on the degree. Getting work will totally depend on how quickly you adopt the skills and present to the prospective employer.

Yes, it would. You need to compare the syllabus of both the courses and understand the difference. Also, connect with alumni of the college you intend to apply to better understand the course prospects.

Yes you can. Make sure to understand the healthcare industry better to build good products.

Yes, it would. But the certifications are usually done by experienced professionals as the institutions generally do not help in placements compared with the master's degree course in health informatics.

@@bridgebuildersacademy pls be more explicit.i am not so clear on the institutions not helping with placements.

@@ovoakhgbe156 What we suggest is that you need to check with the institution from where you intend to do the certificate or a masters degree course in health informatics. Ask the admission cell on how is the industry exposure provided while pursuing the course, are there any internship opportunities, do they help in placements, etc. You can also connect with the alumni of the institution or college through social media channels like LinkedIn and ask about their experience. This way you'll get a fair idea on the job opportunities provided.

Thank you so much.

Scope is same for anyone who has interest in the field.

Yes, it is; depends from where you intend to do.

Hello Syeda, I'm not much aware of the post-graduate diploma program in Canada, please share the university or college link that is providing this course. Also, whenever you are looking out for real-time prospects of a course, do check the following: 1. How is the industry exposure provided during the course? This can be done through guest lectures, internship opportunities, volunteer work, etc. 2. Look at the course content and then compare it with others. Like in your case - ask for course content for both PGD & Masters's degree programs and compare them. This will help you to understand the difference between the two and choose the one that is more extensive. 3. Connect with people through LinkedIn who have pursued the course from the college you intend to apply to and ask about the course prospects. (Tip: connect with at least 10-20 people, then one would respond). Hope this helps! :)

No, both are completely different fields.

Not really, but it might differ from college to college. Do check the eligibility criteria with the college you intend to apply.

This is a subjective question, as the fees would be different for every college and the kind of course you applying for. Please check on the website of colleges which provide with the Health Informatics Course in Canada. Checkout this link - bit.ly/3xgfd3G It will help you in identifying the colleges.

Still if you can Give Range At least.. Please So that we can get approximate idea

@@deep00071 This can be anywhere between 20k - 40k Canadian dollars. Again this is the approximate cost, please check with the college or university you planning to apply for.

In India average for a fresher would be anywhere between 5-7 LPA.

Let us know what all queries you have, we can try getting the answers to those.

@@bridgebuildersacademy if we study diploma in health informatics from McMaster university canada from India online.is it worth it?Do we get job in India and canada on this basis’ and can we get degree completion option after completing this diploma and if yes then which degree?Msc in eheAlth or some other degree?

McMaster continuing education is offering this diploma

@@Kaira-Malik10 Why don't you try connecting with the alumni of this university on LinkedIn. Not sure how beneficial the online degrees are because you don't get practical industry exposure in online mode. We will try to get your queries answered, but meanwhile I would suggest you to connect with people on LinkedIn who have done this course and ask them about the industry exposure and the placement provided.

@What After Dentistry ok thanks
