Hello, i appreciate your uploads. Just got my BS in HIM and looking for work. Pretty tough with no experience or certs. Any more tips on finding entry level work in this field would be amazing.

God bless lady.

Thank you for this. I just enrolled in a graduate program in the field, so I wanted to hear the perspective from a professional. You earned a sub from me.

I’m absolutely new in anything IT or health. I’m really scared about if this will be for me or not.

Hi Rhia, thanks for the video. I have a BSc in Human Resource Management from London, UK and recently graduated (May 2023), however, I have been working as a Medical Administrator for over a year now, and I am considering doing an MS in Health Informatics in the US. The universities I looked into mention if a student doesn't have any background in IT, prerequisites may be required. So I am not sure what exactly are those prerequisites. Could you please make a video about this?

Hello, thank you for this video. I do have a bachelor's degree in public health, and I am interested in getting a master's degree in health informatics, but I do not have any experience in IT at all. What would you suggest is the route for someone like me with no background IT?

So I just started my rhit classes, is this the same? Because I want to do this!

Hello! I am 2023 graduate with an RHIA and a bachelors in HIM! Your videos have helped me a bunch!!!! Do you think it’s necessary to obtain RHIT. To get into the informatics space?

I am currently working as a software developer in a major hospital, where I build and manage software systems. Since I am a self-taught engineer, I am not sure which certifications to pursue. I have even thought about taking the LPN certification to gain experience. Can you please provide guidance on the certifications I should consider and the path I should take?

I am currently a Biomedical Engineer Major and I’m looking to switch into Health informatics. Is Health informatics more so on the coding side? I’ve been confused with IT (with a focus in HI ) vs Health informatics by itself
