Hey, I submitted my application yesterday! I'm so eager too haha

[V08]

Did you guys apply to any other MHI programs? 

[M.Shelley]

I also applied to Waterloo and UofT. Wanted to apply to Mac ehealth but missed the deadline.

[V08]

Me too. Guess this waiting part is the hardest ?

[natzb]

What are your professional/academic backgrounds?

I only applied to UofT (silly, I know). I graduated from UWaterloo with a Bsc and have some coop experience in health IT. Currently, I'm working at a not-for-profit in the mental health space. How about you guys?!

[V08]

I graduated from UofT with a BSc last year. Since then, I've been working at St. Michael's Hospital in a Neuroscience Research lab.

I kinda wished I applied to more places cause I feel like I don't have a lot of experience but oh well. I graduated from Mac last year with a BScN and I'm currently practicing as a community health nurse.

Has everyone's status changed on the portal?

[M.Shelley]

My status changed to Under Review yesterday

[natzb]

My status changed to under review a few days ago as well.

As for experience, I'm still completing my undergrad in gerontology and health at McMaster and have 1.5 years of experience working in a long-term care environment. Also have 1.5 years of accumulated experience at health related NPOs and have done academic placements at a LHIN and in public health.

I still feel like even getting an interview is a long shot due to my lack of full-time work and IT/informatics experience. ?

hey, it sounds like you are a great candidate. Good luck!

When do you guys think we'll hear back? Judging from 2018 and 2017, I'm expecting a mid march response. Thoughts?? The wait is killing me

Hi! 

Applied to Health Services Research MSc program with an Emphasis on Health Informatics at UofT. Our deadline to apply was November but almost no one has posted about the program in the last 6 years ? So this is as close to my potential future cohort as I will get!

Haha nope!!!!!!!!! Going a little crazy here. Interviews were about 3-4 weeks ago and they said we wouldn't hear back until end of feb / beginning of march. Maybe they want to finish the MSc apps before moving on to MHI? Seems like the timelines coincide

Hello Guys,

Just wanted to know if we can still upload our documents for the MHI Online course at Waterloo? I initiated my application and paid the application fee before February 1, but could not upload my documents. Is it still possible to pursue this despite the February 1 deadline? 

Thanks in advance.
