Centennial College's Health Informatics Technology (Fast-Track) program will admit students into Semester 3 of the three-year advanced diploma offering so they can receive the credential in four semesters, for students who are a qualified college or university graduate with a background in software.
This college health technology program's focus will be on incorporating software engineering and health care systems as students will learn to design, develop, modify and test software for health care applications.
As a graduate of this School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science program, students will be able to analyze and model data, develop health care databases and apply modern software development methodologies. They will also have the know-how to use health informatics methods and software tools for hospitals, health care agencies and public health departments.
This will be achieved through the program's coursework, which will include object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, structure of health care information systems, telehealth, data security and privacy in health care systems. It will also highlight technologies such as C#, Java, Python, Oracle, MS-SQL Server, Microsoft's ASP.NET Core, data warehousing and data mining, and BI tools in health care systems.
To round out the curriculum's applied focus, the Health Informatics Technology (Fast-Track) program will feature two software development projects in the field of health informatics. These real-world business applications will allow students to put into action all the technical, systems and business skills gained in the offering.
