Career and Education Opportunities in Health IT
A signficant portion of recent healthcare legislation has focused on building and recruiting a workforce of skilled professionals in Health Information Technology (HIT). ARRA and other government initiatives specifically set out to address the growing need for informaticians to develop, implement and connect clinical systems; provide vendors and industry with unique clinical and technical skills; and to develop and oversee national and local policy.
The HIMSS Oregon June meeting will focus on education and career opportunities. Bringing together leaders from OHSU's nationally recognized graduate degree programs in informatics and representatives from local hospital, government, and industry employers; the session will provide unique perspectives on the current and future job outlook for Healthcare IT in several sectors.
