OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The Digital Health Systems Technician program aims to allow students to see and apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they learn during their studies in the field. During the summer internship, students have the opportunity to become familiar with health informatics environments outside the university, gain limited experience in digital health applications, health information systems, data management, and technical processes; and by observing the relationship between the knowledge gained in school and real-life applications, they can more consciously determine their post-graduation career goals. This process increases the student's professional awareness, strengthens their knowledge, technical competence, and application skills, and develops their abilities.
Contents of the Course Unit:	This includes examining the operating rules, regulations, and bylaws of the healthcare sector; gaining knowledge about healthcare sector management; reviewing documents related to the healthcare sector's own field of work; monitoring and participating in professional practices and reporting on the work done; and also examining the workflows and familiarizing oneself with the practices of other units that assist the professional field.
