Digital healthcare: studies, training, further education and provider overview

Due to the rapid digitalization in the healthcare sector, not least the electronic patient file, medicine and information and communication technology need to understand each other better. Many projects fail because they do not speak the same "language". Digital Healthcare brings healthcare, IT and medical informatics together - this strengthens understanding on both sides.

Participants are expected to have a tertiary degree and at least 2 years of professional experience after graduation. Persons with other adequate qualifications and professional experience can also be admitted to the CAS ICT Healthcare after a dossier examination. Ask at the University of Applied Sciences of your choice.
