Health Information Professionals week!

This week is Health Information Professionals week! We are so excited about our new BSHIM program at Saint Joseph's College! We are continuing to add entry-level courses to our curriculum while we wait for the next step in the CAHIIM accreditation process. We submitted our self-study last October and hope to receive a response this month from the CAHIIM review of our material. We will then make necessary adjustments and hopefully have our site visit by summer!

So far there are about 18 students that have applied to the program, with a few students already enrolled in courses. The remaining applicants are providing transcripts so they can work toward BSHIM degree completion!
