in the health care profession. I found this program and like many others, I was skeptical about paying
the fee and not being satisfied with the product – however, I have been very
satisfied with the knowledge base that the training has provided! I'm really happy
that I have taken advantage of the opportunity. I encourage anyone who might have
interest in furthering their career in the field of health care or health IT, to
take advantage of this course. It will definitely help you to move forward."
- Larry W., Dixon, IL
"I took this class hoping to get a better job. I'd been working at Wendy's and just graduated
from high school. It worked! I just got a REAL job offer! It is to do data entry with a big health
care company! They told me it was my health IT training with ASHIM® that made up their minds!
I feel so great about myself! Thank you ASHIM®!"
– Briana J., Salt Lake City, UT
"I took the ASHIM® Health Information Technology Professional program in
order to expand my current business into a health care IT practice. I have found
the courses to be very thorough and challenging. Whether one comes from an IT or
health care background it is well worth the investment. I look forward to becoming
a Certified Health Informatics Systems Professional."
– Sarah G., Richland, MI
"I am very glad that I took the CHISP® course; I have really loved it! I think it will ensure
my continued employment and provide a platform for me to spring ahead in my career. I am also President
of my AAPC chapter and having the CHISP® will really enhance my presidency; I hope that some
of my members will consider the CHISP® certification."
– Adrienne D., West Hartford, CT
"I was extremely excited and nervous at the same time to get started with this
program. However, from start to finish, the staff were there to guide me and answer
all my questions. They were able to put my mind at ease and I was able to successfully
complete the course and pass the certification exam. It was tough but anything worth
having will NOT come easy. I would say that this is definitely an investment well
worth every penny!"
– Betty G. Irving, TX
"The training I have received from ASHIM® has provided me with the opportunity
to succeed in my career goals! Thank You!"
– Dana L., Hot Springs, MO
"The CHISP® certification has really been an asset for me. The certification
not only validated my health IT skill sets as a Registered Nurse and IT professional,
it showed me the specific areas that I needed to improve upon. Since obtaining the
certification, I obtained a new position with a major health care IT vendor. I would
encourage anyone interested in furthering their HIT career to obtain this certification
which includes a broad spectrum of clinical information, technology, and current
events."
– Cathy G., Beaver, PA
"Learn at your own pace, ask questions anytime, and get a quick reply. It's
perfect for the working individual!"
– Ken M., Colombia, MO
"The ASHIM® Health IT program was not what I expected. I thought it would be a lot of computer
jargon I wouldn't understand… that was not the case! The textbooks for the course were very
easy to understand and follow. This course was very informative; everything was explained in detail
and if you had a question, your coaches were a mouse click away! Working full time I didn't think
that I would be able to complete the course in the time allowed but [I found] with the lesson plan – that
was not the case. I was able to work at my own pace and not be pressured. I would
definitely recommend this online course to anyone."
– Dorothy A., Hamilton, OH
"I have really liked the program thus far. The IT portion is the hardest for
me as my background is in medical office management. I'm looking forward to finishing
and taking the test for my certification. I'd recommend this course to anyone. I've
liked going at my own pace, too."
– Debra H., Round Rock, TX
"Work smarter... not harder! This program provides an excellent background in
all aspects of the health care environment. By having such a myriad of knowledge
in this field, it can provide a seamless transition into the new job role."
– Rowland T., Chesterfield, MO
"I came into the program with a background in technology and new to the health
IT industry. I wanted a course of study and a credential that would help me to stand
out among industry peers. I find myself learning something new every day. The curriculum
is relevant and interesting. And, even though I have not yet completed the program,
I have been able to take what I've learned thus far and make a productive contribution
to my company."
– Patrick Z., Boston, MA
"The ASHIM® Health IT program provides a great way for professionals to
re-tool at a pace that fits into their demanding schedules. Thanks for making it
available for busy professionals."
– Douglas G., O'Fallon, MO
"The ASHIM® Health IT Program is a comprehensive, well-structured, and reasonably paced
self-study program that really gave me a sense of achievement once completed. My work experiences
in HIM have limited me by the nature of my assignments. Having successfully completed the ASHIM® Health
IT Program, I am much more knowledgeable of all HIT related processes and feel much
better positioned to explore more challenging opportunities."
– John W., West Mclean, VA
"I have had a few times when I felt a bit overwhelmed with using different books
and handouts, but it all comes together every time. If I haven't quite grasped something
it will always be made clear in another book or handout."
– Nancy S., Hermitage, PA
"I think the program is well designed and covers all necessary material. I appreciate
that it takes into consideration our current knowledge and allows us to 'fast track.'
I love that the unit tests are scored electronically and immediately. We know where
we are and can keep track. I was afraid I would feel bogged down but I don't."
– Mary M., Loudonville, NY
"I believe that the material
is relevant to today's clinical environment and is a valuable asset to those wishing
to pursue CHISP® certification."
– Mary B., Batavia, IL
