THIS COURSE IS REQUIRED FOR THE 1 YEAR MHIS COURSE BASED PROGRAM, AND IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE STUDENTS IN THE 2 YEAR THESIS PROGRAM.
This course serves to support students to integrate, through experiential learning, theoretical aspects of research that have been introduced and explored in other core Master of Health Information Science (MHIS) courses. Each student works with a mentor of their choice in an established program of research to gain practical experience in the application of research within the context of Health Information Science. A proposed learning plan will be negotiated with the mentor for depth, breadth, and rigor and alignment with the achievement of program outcomes and course content will be individualized to meet students’ needs and professional goals. Students may partner with another classmate or work individually on a research project. This experience may include some or all the following experiences: literature review development, program evaluation, quality improvement, primary or secondary data collection and/or analysis, development of proposals, and other aspects of the research process that are tailored for the individual student experience.
