UVIC’s School of Health Information Science Open House
The School of Health Information Science is hosting its Spring Open House on Thursday, February 13th 4:30-6:00pm at the University of Victoria’s Hickman Building room 110. We invite you and your students to learn more about this exciting field by talking with our faculty and students. Please share this invitation with your students and please join us for pizza while learning about the rapidly expanding field of information technology in healthcare!
The world is becoming increasingly reliant on the use of information technology in health care delivery. The School of Health Information Science has the most comprehensive and established undergraduate program in the study of health informatics in Canada, offering two programs including a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Science and a Combined Major in Computer Science and Health Information Science. Students may enter directly from high school or transfer from college or other undergraduate programs. Individuals graduate with a BSc degree, and benefit from excellent employment opportunities with starting salaries typically above $55,000 per year.
If you are unable to join us for the Open House, we would be pleased to meet with you in person or over the phone to let you know more about the Health Information Science programs offered at UVic. This is a dynamic expanding field of study which many of your students would excel at. Students interested in the life sciences, medicine and/or information technology would be especially interested in our programs. Please contact Sandy Polomark at his@uvic.ca or by phone at 250-721-8576 to schedule an appointment.
