  Emily O'Sullivan

• I consider it an honour and a professional obligation to help ready the next generation of Informatics leaders in Canada. Realizing a population that is healthy and well requires a sustainable health care system and this can only be achieved through the effective and efficient use of evidence and technology. Achieving this is an ongoing challenge for today’s and tomorrow’s Informatics leaders. I volunteer with Digital Health Canada to help ensure future generations benefit from today’s Informatics professionals’ efforts.

I would encourage everyone to consider a volunteer role at Digital Health Canada.

• The Core HI Education Classes were quite helpful, especially since they came with a series of notes that helped organize the concepts from the CPHIMS review guide into a structured format. This proved to be an excellent resource for memorizing concepts and analyzing the current state of healthcare systems.
