Where did you study?
Bachelors of Arts integrative Biology
Doctorate in Pharmacy
Next step is CPHIMS (Healthcare information and management systems) certification and an MBA
Also considering if it is plausible to do an AA in Information Technology - if any of you guys have advice in that area, let me know!
I'm finishing up my CRNA program this December.
Checked out the CPHIMS website, looks like something I may be interested in. Been into computers since my dad brought home a 286 when I was a youngin'. Might be an interesting way to bring my interest in technology into work.
Yeah, the only thing that is stopping me is the eligibility requirements. If you have a BS you need 5 years in associated IT management systems experience, 3 of those in healthcare setting; or if you went to grad school, you need 3 years with 2 in healthcare.
How are you going to get your IT management systems experience while working full time as a practitioner?
I think that would be my biggest roadblock, 40+ hrs a week in the OR is going to put a damper on any time to spend with IT.
The degree is from Unitec but I did the actual course at Waiariki in Whakatane (first year) and Rotorua (subsequent years). This was back in 2002-04.
