Health Information Management professionals are experts in managing health data, regulations, compliance, patient safety, privacy, and confidentiality while advocating for patients knowledge and involvement in their health care.
In addition to a traditional four-year degree, SLU offers an 18-month accelerated bachelor’s degree in health information management for students who already have earned a bachelor's. Upon graduation, all of SLU's health information management students are qualified to sit for the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) national credentialing examination.
