Digital Health Course For Healthcare Professionals

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Digital Health Academy (an SBU of Digital Health Associates) and the Indian Institute of Management Raipur to start online course on Digital Health.  

The Certified Digital Health Professional (CDHP) Course will be a year-long, completely online course specifically designed for healthcare and management professionals.  

Digital Health Academy was founded by Dr Rajendra Pratap Gupta, who is policymaker and the person behind reforms in the National Education Policy 2020. He is also the chairman of the Dynamic Coalition on Digital Health at the Internet Governance Forum, United Nations.  

The CDHP course is designed for Physicians, Allied Healthcare Professionals and professionals in healthcare administration and life sciences. The aim of this course is to enhance the competence level with regard to the use of digital tools across the continuum of care.  

Healthcare is at the cusp of a major technological revolution; digitalisation of healthcare is the next big thing in the healthcare industry. One major challenge remains the training of clinicians, paramedics and support staff in digital health. These professionals are in full-time jobs with no possibility of upskilling in terms of digital literacy; hence the one-year, self-paced course will give them an opportunity to learn from the experience of the global leaders on the latest digital advancement in healthcare.  

Ideated in 2020 by Digital Health Academy, CDHP is the result of two years of research, brainstorming and consultation with around 54 global leaders. 

Through CDHP course, Digital Health Academy wants to bridge the gap between the healthcare professional & application-oriented Digital Health. Segregated into three levels: Basic, Advanced and Professional. The course will cover the theoretical and practical implementation of digital health technologies.  

Registration for the course will start shortly and the course will go live over the next few weeks.
