ResidenciesEach student in the program completes three residencies. *The first residency (3 credits) is completed between the junior and senior year. This is normally a summer course and students should be prepared to pay summer tuition. In this residency, the student spends three weeks full time in a hospital health information management department. It provides students with an opportunity to gain practical experience in the technical aspect of health information management. The second residency (1 credit) is completed in 10 half days during the fall semester of the senior year. This residency exposes students to various non-hospital settings. The third residency (3 credits) is taken for three weeks during the last semester of the senior year. It takes place in the health information management department of a health care or health-related organization. This residency focuses on the management role of the health information manager. Additional expenses may be incurred during the residencies for transportation, housing, health testing and proper work attire. Every effort is made to place students in organizations that are within reasonable commuting distance of the college or the student's hometown. The decision regarding proper placement of the student is made by the program faculty. *Note: Transfer students with associate degrees in health information technology may transfer the equivalent of the first technical-level residency and the specialty rotation. Graduates of the American Health Information Management Association training programs for health information management technicians may substitute another professional course for the first technical-level residency and the specialty rotation.
