Program details

Overview

This certificate is aimed at healthcare students who already hold a diploma or a baccalaureate degree and want to expand their knowledge, skills, and competencies in applying digital health and health informatics within everyday clinical and healthcare settings.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This is a two-step admission process. Step 1 requires English language proficiency at BCIT's Category 1 level (English Studies 12 at 73%, or an institution-wide equivalent such as IELTS Academic overall 7.0 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90 with no section below 20, or PTE Academic 65 with no skill below 60), plus one of two entry options: at least 60 credits in a healthcare-related discipline, or at least 60 credits in any discipline combined with a minimum one year of relevant part-time or full-time healthcare-environment work or volunteer experience (including administration, policy, research or education roles). A mandatory Applicant Questionnaire is submitted with the application. Step 2 is a department assessment of the completed file and questionnaire responses. Foreign credentials need a course-by-course ICES evaluation with GPA calculation. International applicants may enrol only if completing the program from outside Canada or holding valid Canadian status other than a study permit; they are not eligible for a study permit, and the program does not meet the eligible field of study requirement (CIP code 51.0707) for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.

Application Details

Start Date: January, April and September
Application Deadline: BCIT publishes common credential application dates for most cohort-based diplomas, degrees and Flexible Learning routes, though each program's own page governs: for the January 2027 intake domestic applications run 1 February 2026 to 2 January 2027 and international to 1 November 2026; for the April 2027 intake domestic runs 1 May 2026 to 1 April 2027 and international to 1 February 2027; for September 2027 domestic applications open 1 October 2026 and close 1 September 2027, international 2 July 2027. Openings are 9:00 am and deadlines 11:59 pm Pacific Time, moving to the next business day on a weekend. Admission is not institute-wide rolling, but many programs work first-qualified-first-accepted and can fill before the posted deadline, and several programs, mostly in Health Sciences, trades and graduate studies, run entirely separate application tables of their own. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
