The double degree Master of Nursing and Master of Science in Health Informatics option permits nurses who are interested in health information technology to develop graduate level competencies in both Nursing and Health Information Science. The option is intended to prepare nursing leaders with a background essential for working in the rapidly expanding field of nursing and health informatics. The program is the first of its kind in Canada and it is one of the few programs that provides a comprehensive set of courses and experiential work opportunities in the area of nursing informatics.
