Health informatics workforce, professionalism and certification
At the last two HIC’s we ran a very successful workshop looking at the future role of the health informatics professional. The workshop was not only well-attended but so interactive that the information we gathered from attendees helped shape HISA’s workforce and professionalisation strategy. If you are an employer, a health informatics professional, an aspiring health informatics professional or you aren’t even sure what health informatics is but you are intrigued – then please attend this informative and interactive session. Your contributions will help HISA refine its strategy to ensure we deliver solutions that can help solve the workforce issues you or your organisation face.
