Hello HIM Students! It has been a VERY long time since I have posted to this blog and I am going to try to get back to monthly posts. Why have I been absent for so long? The biggest reason was because I was so busy preparing for our CAHIIM accreditation visit on July 30/31. Thanks to all of you who participated in the student panel for the visit! The other reason is that sometimes I just can't think of anything to write about! It is kind of like being a student who has to think of a topic for a research paper - sometimes that is the hardest part! You can relate, right?
Today I do have something important to share with you. I have created an HIM Program Orientation / Handbook. I am going to be emailing it to all of you existing students, and going forward I will send it to all new students who are just starting out. I truly hope you will take the time to read the whole handbook - I just did and it only took me 20 minutes. I want you to know all of the details in this handbook. You probably know most of it - but I don't want you to miss a thing! After you review the handbook, please let me know if you have any questions.
As Fall Term 1 is coming to an end soon, I hope you are all having a great semester. Term 2 starts soon on October 26. Be sure you are registered!
Have a great day!
Cindy Edgerton
HIM Program Director
