About Bachelor of Health Information Management (106398C)
Health systems are underpinned by information – from individual medical records to population-level healthcare statistics. The success of modern healthcare relies on this information being recorded and shared effectively, efficiently and ethically.
La Trobe University's Bachelor of Health Information Management combines the clinical and business sides of healthcare to prepare students for a career as a health information expert. They will develop a comprehensive skillset covering areas like clinical classification, data analytics, health informatics and health systems management.
Students will build the foundation of skills in health information management in the first year of study. Then they will deepen technical and professional expertise throughout the rest of their degree, including 55 days of supervised professional placement.
With the perfect blend of expertise and experience, students will graduate ready to work in all areas of healthcare – from hospitals and community health centers to specialist disease registries.

- Anatomy and physiology - Understand the fundamental internal and external structures of the body and how they function. Learn the language of medicine.
