CHIMA Awards
The CHIMA Award program celebrates the excellence, dedication, and commitment of members who have significantly contributed to enriching CHIMA and the health information profession.
At CHIMA, we are proud to represent more than 5,000 health information members. Our members work tirelessly to tell the health stories of Canadians.
The Future of Health Information Award
Focused on students, this award recognizes a person for academic excellence and their passion for the health information profession.
As an active CHIMA student member, they contribute to their classrooms and their communities. This person has the potential to impact the future of the profession positively.
An accredited program from The Canadian College of Health Information Management will nominate one individual per year that meets these requirements.
That individual will receive a bursary from the CHIMA endowment, inclusion in CHIMA’s annual team learning subscription for one year, a certificate and recognition in a CHIMA publication.
Chapter – Legacy Awards
Before the provincial associations integrated into CHIMA in 2016, two jurisdictions gave legacy awards in the name of influential contributors.
These yearly awards, chosen through a chapter selection committee, continue to honour the legacy of these professionals.
Award application details can be found on each chapter page. Awards open in the winter season for the previous year.
