People often associate careers in healthcare with those that provide direct patient care. As such, information management is sometimes overlooked despite its increasing importance in the digital era. Health information management (HIM) professionals have skills and competencies in health data management, information policy, information systems, and administrative and clinical workflow.

Our program focuses on the skills and knowledge essential to managing employees and departments responsible for ensuring an accurate and complete medical record with cost-effective methods.
