What are Electronic Health Records?
Electronic health records are THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE! They are electronic versions of patient records that can be shared across various health care settings. Electronic health records make communication between health care providers easier and quicker.

Healthcare laws are going to require that doctors, pharmacies, and insurance companies move to paperless health records. That makes now an exciting time to enter this fast-growing field.

If you’re great with computers, business-minded, and an analytical thinker, you’ll thrive in the Electronic Health Records field.

What is experiential learning?
Simply put, experiential learning is learning through direct experience. We feel it’s the best way to learn, and we designed our Program around it. So when you attend classes at P.I.T., get ready for more than just textbooks. Our instructors use a variety of teaching tools such as:
  • Multimedia classroom presentations
  • Virtual software that replicates real-world electronic health record software
  • Courses designed by our Computer Science Department for a solid knowledge base in information services

What kind of career will I have?
Recent healthcare legislation makes this an extraordinary time for job growth in electronic health records. In just a few years, doctors, pharmacies, and insurance companies will be required by law to support paperless health records… contributing to 3.2 million jobs by 2018.

  • Doctor’s offices
  • Multi doctor practices

Why choose PIT for your Electronic Health Records education?
    1. Unique Two-Year Program
      P.I.T.’s Electronic Health Records Program is a two-year program! Other schools only offer a four-year Electronic Health Records Program, forcing students into an Information Technology degree. Our program prepares students for a career after two years, and gives them the option to pursue a four-year degree.

    2. Experienced Instructors
      Our instructors either come from a real world background or still hold positions in their fields. They share their working knowledge to better prepare our students to enter the workplace.

    3. Intimate learning environment and family atmosphere
      Our instructors know each student on a first name basis. Smaller class sizes allow us to focus on each student’s individual strengths and areas to improve.

    4. Parallel learning
      P.I.T.’s unique “parallel learning” approach saves time and money for our students. We offer both skill strengthening and degree classes at the same time, fast-tracking students to a degree.

    5. Flexibility
      Our flexible schedule is ideal for students balancing work, family, and school.

    6. Free tutoring
      Scheduled tutoring from both instructors and honor students is available to ALL P.I.T. students, free of charge!

    7. Portfolio Building and Interview Coaching
      The value of a P.I.T. education extends beyond the classroom! Our instructors work hard to prepare graduates through portfolio building and interview coaching.
