Explore CHIMA’s communities of the health information profession
If you have a passion for a particular health information practice area, exploring a community may be a great option. Each community has desired outcomes and enlists volunteers to help achieve them.
As you explore these communities, you will find upcoming events to participate in and relevant products (e.g., courses or resources).
Community facilitators will be there along the way to initiate conversations and guide discussions within their portfolios. They establish important industry connections and identify emerging areas of interest. Their combined efforts reach over 250 leaders across Canada—some of who are certified with the Canadian College of Health Information Management and are professional members of CHIMA.
