Welcome to IT Healthcare

The IT Healthcare Program is a step in a three part career pathway in healthcare and technology.  The first step is a 15 credit IT for Healthcare Certificate. This certificate is intended for currently employed health care professionals who wish to add IT skills to their professional qualifications. It is also designed for those who are beginning their health care career and need basic IT skills. The IT for Healthcare One Year Certificate then builds on the IT curriculum by adding medical fundamentals and project management as well as informatics. This One Year Certificate of Achievement targets the displaced worker looking for a new skill, and it targets the new student who is looking to work in the healthcare field using IT skills. The culmination is the AAS-T Degree in IT for Healthcare giving a well rounded curriculum that will enable graduates to work in the medical field or information technology  in hospitals, home health or ambulatory care facilities in entry level positions. It is critical in the transition to the digital healthcare field of the future that a work force capable of using health communications and information technology is in place. The IT for Healthcare curriculum is designed to meet this emerging demand and aims to equip students and workers with the skills needed to enter and advance in healthcare careers.
