A unique facet of the CGU Master’s of Science in Health Information Management is the Clinical Immersion. This is a key component of our program that will provide you with practical experience assisting a leading medical or healthcare institution with the design, implementation and management of health information technology. You may satisfy the Clinical Immersion requirement by participation in an internship or practicum project.
Internship at clinical hospitals and research labs
You may spend one semester implementing and refining the various skill sets learned in the classroom in a clinical environment at a hospital, research lab or other healthcare organization.
Industry or Lab sponsored practicum project
You may work in a small group of three to five students and apply health information management techniques to complete a project supplied by an outside healthcare organization. All work will be done under the supervision and cooperation of our faculty.
