$30.00

Health information is vital to the work being done within cancer care across Canada. And while many health information professionals work within this space, those outside of it may not be as well-versed on the subtleties within cancer care. CHIMA’s education session—CancerCare Manitoba and health information—invites you to gain valuable insight from a clinical trials unit manager who is keenly aware of these nuances.

Speaking with Qixia (Joyce) Wei, CHIM, Kathryn Dyck, BA, CCRP, shares her experience at CancerCare Manitoba and talks about the value that health information professionals hold: being organized, detail-oriented, enjoying working with data, have an interest in health care, anatomy, and physiology, and value accuracy and precision.
