This To reform the Bachelor of Health Informatics curriculum in Mongolia, a comparative analysis was conducted with similar international programs, and the revised curriculum was developed based on satisfaction surveys from both graduates and employers. A satisfaction survey was conducted in which 49 graduates evaluated the curriculum using a 19-question questionnaire, and 14 employers assessed the graduates' competencies through an 8-question questionnaire, forming the basis for two distinct datasets. Factor analysis (PCA and EFA with Varimax rotation) was performed on the resulting dataset. The analysis identified five latent factors from the graduates' evaluations—Quality of Instruction, Practical Training and Skills, Learning Environment and Resources, Curriculum Structure, and Professional Development Opportunities–and one factor from the employers' assessments: Job Requirements and Skills Evaluation. Based on these findings, the revised curriculum was developed through a comparative analysis with programs from the University of Sydney, Oregon Tech, and Montana Tech. The updated curriculum consists of 120 credit hours and complies with Order A/147 of the Minister of Education and Science, as well as the IT Curriculum Guide 2017. A notable feature of the revised program is its emphasis on specialization in health data processing, information systems architecture, and computer networking. This research contributes to enhancing the quality of Health Informatics education and aligning the academic training with the needs of graduates and labor market demands.
