HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS TECH
Professional Certificate
The healthcare industry stands on the brink of exciting new change as the transition from paper-based records systems gives way to electronic record applications and other higher-level systems of health information exchange.
The Healthcare Informatics Tech Professional Certificate was designed and developed to provide guidance to technology professionals, recent graduates of information technology or computer science, and allied health or healthcare professionals currently working in the healthcare system. The courses are designed to provide support and guidance in the transition to the Electronic Health Record.
The certificate program is under a subcontract of a multi-state consortia of colleges (Region A) supported by a federally-funded cooperative agreement through the Department of Health & Human Services (Community College Consortium of Information Technology Professionals on Health Care). The certificate consists of two distinct Tracks.
Track 1 is designed for Information Technology Professionals. Track 2 is designed for Allied Health Care and Health Care Professionals. Each track consists of a total of 16 credits. Each of these tracks was designed to be completed in one semester (< 6 months) for a student attending full-time. Students need only complete one track for completion of the program.
In seeking admission into the program, the student is required to complete all the Application Requirements found to the right on this page. The Intake Form provides specific guidance with regard to the student’s educational and work related experiences.
