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.
Hi, Thanks for the informative video. I have a question that what differences between Health Information Management and Health Informatics are? Which Canada College give the best programs for international student with health science background? Thank you
@@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
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.
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.
Hi mam.. in mc master university eligibility if not computer science background we have to complete certificates in any one programing language c++ java python.. is it for us too mds graduates from india?
Hi maam. Thanks for the informative video! Wanted to ask that is work from home option available once we get into health Informatics and look for jobs? For someone who is a new mother and finds it difficult to balance both family and job, can we expect such flexibility?
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.
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 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.
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.
Hey dr. I’ve completed my dentistry and applied for health informatics in centennial college in Canada but it’s a advanced diploma course not a master so is it good for me ? Please reply asap
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.
Hi mam , i am mds graduate ..can i do msc e-health after mds like mam said but in some universities they are asking for computer science certificates.. am i eligible to do msc e-health directly after mds or should i do any other certifications..thank u

Thanks a lot for a wonderful session. I have some questions regarding Health Informatics in USA.

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?
Madam I am 52 year old dentist from India. Is it possible for me to process the immigration.which is the reliable consultantor what is the route to get pr
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.
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.
Hey I would like to know how many years of pgwp usually granted after completing this course (course-based), since the program is just 16 months in length. Is it likely that we will get a 3 years pgwp? Thank you
Is it possible to get a job after a postgrad certificate in health informatics ? For someone changing careers from clinical medicine to health informatics.
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.
@@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.
Hi mam.If we take Post-graduate diploma in health informatics instead of masters degree in Canada,then do we have same wide job opportunities? Please can u clear my doubt about it.BTW tq for very good & informative video.
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! :)

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