The programme, comprising 15 credits and offered on-campus, targets physicians, nurses, medical coders and billers, and healthcare staff. The programme aims to promote the use of a standardised health information coding system, to simplify recording of medical data, and to improve the quality of data coding.

Offered fully online, it consists of 20 credits and has established a strong track record over the past six years, attracting professionals from across MENA region. The curriculum covers vital topics such as health data acquisition and management, health systems analysis and health outcome management, biostatistics, and business intelligence tools. The programme is open to students from various organisations such as healthcare providers, research institutes, health ministries, and private insurance companies.
