Testimonials

My experience at UW's HIHIM Program has prepared me to address many of the complex health care issues faced by today's health care executives. It has provided me with a strong competency in navigating contemporary issues such as electronic health record implementation, identification and analysis of revenue enhancement opportunities, and hospital capacity expansion.

By having gained a good understanding of the critical health information and data transactions fueling hospital operations, I have been able to expedite my career development and distinguish myself from my peers with a degree in an emerging sector of the health care industry. I strongly believe that career opportunities for HIHIM graduates are boundless given the right amount of drive and hard work. Skills gained through the HIHIM program such as leadership, project management, and process improvement facilitation, are highly sought after by many health care organizations and has been proven to be invaluable to me as I continue to further my career.

Genevieve - HIHIM Graduate and Graduate Student

The curriculum in the program prepares individuals for many different career choices because of the amount of information that is covered in the program. I left the program with the necessary HIM clinical knowledge needed in the workplace, but I also left with essential management skills and system knowledge I didn't expect to leave with.

The HIA faculty is great. The resources they provide are not just from the required text books, they provide resource from their real life experiences and current events that are at the HIM fore front.
