FELLOWSHIP BY TRAINING PROGRAM

In 2017 the Australasian Health Informatics Fellowship Program (AHIFP) was established as a training pathway to ACHI Fellowship. It is the first program of its kind in Australasia.

The AHIFP is designed to prepare individuals for leadership roles in the Health Informatics workforce and to address the current demands for experienced and qualified Health Informatics specialists from various disciplines.

About the Program

The Fellowship by Training Program is four years full-time in duration and includes:

  • A Health Informatics research doctoral program at an Australasian University (typically three years)
  • Two paid Health Informatics 6-month work placements
  • Supplementary learning

On completion of the Fellowship Program candidates will hold a PhD academic qualification, have a portfolio of work and established industry contacts, and will be awarded Fellowship by the Australasian College of Health Informatics.

Note: the above is based on full-time, there is also a part time equivalent.
