Thinking of becoming a CHIA?
Hear what a recent graduate has to say...
"My particular interests and focus is in 'participatory health' informatics. The CHIA program was useful to awaken a curiosity of how interrelated so much of the work of the health informatician really is. Now, when I converse with colleagues with different interests in health and biomedical informatics, we're able to intelligently converge our ideas and notions."
Read more of Dr Mark Merolli's Q&A here.
If you work at the intersection of healthcare and information technology, then CHIA is for you! Register now and go into the CHIA 300 draw to win a $500 Red Balloon voucher
And don't forget, if you complete your exam before HIC, you can be part of the CHIA celebrations at HIC!
