Delse P.Anderson College's Health Information Management program helped me transition my international coding experience into a Canadian career. The knowledgeable faculty and supportive staff made learning engaging, and thanks to their guidance, I secured a full-time job before graduation and am now thriving in a leadership role.
Mariam T.My passion for Health Sciences led me to join the Health Information Management program. I had a great learning experience due to their supportive and competent faculty. As a result, I was able to successfully pass the course and secure a job as a Health Information Management Professional at Listowel Memorial Hospital. I am happy I chased my dream and chose Anderson College to help me accomplish it.
Jawariya U.I chose Anderson College because they offered the Health Information Management Course, which I was very interested in, and was CHIMA accredited. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I passed my CHIMA exam and got hired at Windsor Regional Hospital as Accredited Records Technician.
