Epic certification is a lucrative commodity nowadays in the informatics world considering it is one of the main search keywords recruiters use to find Epic analysts and consultants. In this video, I go over five questions:
1. Why should you pursue and Epic certification?
2. How to obtain an Epic certification
3. Can you obtain an Epic certification on your own?

since 2016, I've relentlessly sought an opportunity to make my mark with Epic, but luck has yet to favor me. However, I anticipate a positive shift soon as I intensify my skills in IT and programming. Armed with over 20 years of pharmacy expertise, I currently hold pivotal roles at the largest city hospital: Controlled Substance Analyst, Investigational Pharmacy Manager, Supply Chain Analyst, and, presently, EPIC Final Approver and Sr. Data Analyst.

Thanks for the updated video, I'm proficient and seeking certification, and it's taking every ounce of my being to pass that test, I'm frikin almost depressed over it, anyway, with Epic certs, there's no such thing as being over-prepared, NONE.

Hi Brian, thanks for the video it is very insightful. I heard you talked about EPIC certification and proficiency, specifically downloading the study guide. My question is where do I find those materials to download for the proficiency study?

Hi Brian, your videos are very helpful!! Thank you so much. If you are a clinical pharmacist and you’re offered an Epic analyst position and you’re going through the training and implementation. Is it really worth it? I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me the truth

[dannycastano]

So I'm applying to a job in the health care system in NYC. and the job requires to be EPIC certified but you cannot be certified unless you had worked for another healthcare system that provided that to you or EPIC itself. so in other words these jobs are not for you, they are for already EPIC certified people, and just like that, equal employment opportunities are legit non-existent. This is like saying hey! you need a dish to get food but you can only get a dish if you got food??? wtf???

Hi Brian! I am transitioning from a Respiratory Therapist to an Epic Optime analyst for the hospital system I work at. Do you know what the average pay range for a brand new optime analyst would look like. I am having a hard time finding a good pay range for this position online. I am not certified they are sending me to Epic to get the certification which is all virtual now I guess thanks to covid.
