Overview
The Health Terminology and Interoperability Standards micro-certificate is for working professionals who have a health information management diploma and at least two years of experience. The program is intended to meet national and international needs for best practices in controlled terminologies used in the health industry.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Health Terminology and Interoperability Standards Micro-certificate requires applicants to have the equivalent of a minimum "B" average over the last two years of their most recent post-secondary degree or diploma. English-language proficiency is required unless the applicant's first language is English, they spent the three years before attending UVic in a majority English-speaking country, they hold a degree from a designated English-speaking country, or their prior degree was taught in English; applicants who do not qualify for an exemption must provide a TOEFL iBT score of at least 90 with no section below 20, an IELTS Academic overall band of at least 6.5 with no component below 6.0, or a Michigan English Test (MET) score of at least 64. A background in health or information technology is noted as an asset for this micro-certificate but is not stated as mandatory.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
