A Healthy IT Career
Apply your computer skills in a hospital, clinic, or medical office with a career in health information technology. Responsible for creating and updating patient records, most health IT workers hold an associate's degree from a community or online college. Some employers prefer to hire Registered Health Information Technicians, a credential earned by associate's degree graduates who pass a written exam. Getting the proper training is invaluable, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts tremendous growth for this occupation over the next 10 years.
