Electronic Health Informatics program courses will be discontinued beginning Spring 2020. Fall of 2019 will be the last semester we will offer courses to complete this associates of applied science degree.
The need for specialists who understand both the medical record and the technology aspects of the electronic health record will be in high demand as the healthcare industry transitions from a paper-based health record to an electronic one. This degree prepares students to work in the profession of electronic health records. Graduates will be able to provide support for health information management systems but will not have training in medical coding.
Some courses are not eligible for Financial Aid. Please check the list here when considering a course.
