Health information technology is one of the fastest-growing industries in the country and the demand for skilled employees continues to increase. In short, health IT professionals play a major role behind the scenes that allows doctors and nurses to do their jobs more efficiently every day. So, whether a student is just starting their educational journey or wanting to make a job change, JCCC’s Health Information Systems program prepares them for a rewarding career in this high-demand industry.
Guiding students down valuable career paths
To excel as a health information systems professional, students must be proficient problem solvers, highly motivated and have a passion for helping others. When combining these qualities with JCCC’s in-depth curriculum, students graduate with the necessary technical and soft skills that stand out to health care employers.
We offer two educational paths to choose from depending on a student’s career goals. After earning an Associate of Science with an Emphasis in Health Information Systems from JCCC, graduates can immediately join the workforce in hospital systems, clinics, provider practices, software vendors, consultants, or medical device companies. Or a JCCC graduate can transfer to a four-year program with one of JCCC’s transfer partner universities.
Additionally, students can pursue a Health Information Systems Specialist Certificate for added credentials. With this certificate, graduates have the necessary skills to provide user support and design and deliver training programs to employees in clinical and public health settings.
No matter their career track, students graduate from the JCCC Health Information Systems program with the skills and knowledge needed to land a lucrative job within the growing healthcare IT industry.
JCCC is a great place to study health information systems
With extensive resources, financial aid options and transfer opportunities, JCCC is the ideal place for students to study health information systems. Throughout their coursework, students train in simulated environments developed by Cerner, the nation’s leader in health information and electronic health records (EHR) technology. Cerner’s products are in use at more than 27,000 facilities around the world, giving JCCC students valuable exposure to cutting edge technology.
Additionally, JCCC is an approved educational partner of the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS), the largest health IT organization in the world. Through HIMSS, JCCC students have access to exclusive training and education resources.
A notable bonus is that qualified students in JCCC’s Health Information Systems program can have their tuition, books and other course-related materials paid for through the Kansas Promise Scholarship. This ‘full ride’ scholarship provides eligible Kansas students a direct path to the high-demand, high-value jobs in this rapidly growing industry.
After graduating from JCCC, students wishing to complete a four-year program can transfer directly to the University of Kansas’ Healthcare Information Management program or Ottawa University’s clinical and non-clinical bachelor’s degree programs in Health Care Management. JCCC’s academic counselors are available to work with students on their transfer options to a four-year program.
