Hi Bob,

Thanks for the message.

I'm considering doing a graduate certificate course and a Master later on, but I do have some questions and concerns that I need to clarify before I proceed.

1- Are the terms "Associate degree" and

    "Graduate certificate" equivalent?

    Are they both the same?!!

2- I'm currently in Australia. If I do the course here,

    will my degree be recognizsed overseas (US

    & Canada)?!! What are the licensing 

    bodies that govern the practice of

    Health  informaticians in these contries?!!

    Can my degree get me a job overseas?!!

3- What are the Job prospects of this field in the

    US & Canada?!!

4- What kind of fields, jobs or sectors I can expect

    to be able to work in?!! (This question in

    particular appears to be very vague!!)

I know that my questions might sound very basic,

but I really appreciate if you can help me out and make the picture clear for me!

Thanks,

Ahmed
