Health IT Training

Demand for trained Health IT Professionals exceeds the supply.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Department of Education, and independent studies have indicated a 2009-2015 shortfall of approximately 51,000 qualified Health IT workers required to meet the needs of hospitals and physicians as they move to adopt electronic health care systems. Jobs are expected to increase faster than average through 2018.

There is no better time to seize your upward push and learn these skills. Careers in medical informatics range from new roles, such as support specialists, to advanced career opportunities in consulting. Practice managers need basic health IT knowledge in order to protect the interest of their medical practice.
