Program Profile
The Health and Information Technology Career Program provides students with exposure to electronic systems healthcare professionals and patients use to store, share and analyze health information. This career pathway provides students with medical terminology, coding and billing, and patient care knowledge aligned with the content in the certification exams. From there, students in this pathway train on the in-demand health CRM software that enables hospitals and private medical practices to manage their interactions with their patients, employees, caregivers, and suppliers.
Employment of medical records specialists is projected to grow 8 percent from 2022 to 2032, about as fast as the average for all occupations. The volume of healthcare services is expected to continue to increase, resulting in a growing number of medical tests and procedures, all of which will require transcription. BLS.GOV
