“SickKids was the first organization to pilot the CHIMA Annual Team Learning Subscription in 2019. Since then, we have been able to support our health information professionals with their continuing education. Our team members are able to have interesting discussions throughout the year as new content is released. I look forward to the expansion of this subscription service and encourage other organizations to consider it as an option for the professional development of their employees.”

Each team subscriber will need to individually sign into their account to access the ATLS collection. It is through here they can complete each offering in order to track the progress of their own professional development. For subscribers who are CHIMA professional members, it is especially important for tracking their continuing professional education credits with the Canadian College of Health Information Management.
We encourage employers to have deeper discussions on the key takeaways their employees have gained through their learning.
