Break Into Healthcare IT
A 5-week live program for people who want a career in healthcare technology and don’t know where to start. You’ll learn how healthcare IT actually works, choose a realistic first role based on the background you already have, and leave with a 90-day plan.
Built for
- Clinicians (pharmacists, nurses, others) moving into informatics and roles like Epic analyst
- IT professionals moving into healthcare and better-paying roles
- Career changers starting from zero
How it works
- 10 live sessions, twice a week for 5 weeks
- Small group: no more than 15 people
- Four moves: understand the landscape, get close to the systems, build proof, and position yourself
- A free webinar comes first and explains everything
A common question: Epic certification usually requires an employer to sponsor it. The program shows you how to get hired close to the systems first, so that door can open.
