Students in the Health Information Technology program at Ivy Tech get instruction using the American Health Information Management Association Virtual Lab which provides students with hands-on learning using the most current technology in healthcare facilities today. Students are also provided the opportunity to extern in our community healthcare facilities that could lead to a permanent position after graduation. Since our students have been exposed to so many hands-on learning opportunities, our students pass the Registered Health Information Technician certification at rates well above the national average.
The Health Information Technology program is a selective admission program. When you apply to the College, you will be accepted into Healthcare Support with a concentration in Health Information Technology while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The Health Information Technology program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process. Contact your campus of interest below for more details.
