“When I researched the field of potential programs, it was important that I find a program with its focus on what is expected of an executive-level healthcare IT manager. When I discovered that UAB’s MSHI program covered 80% of the stated objectives for the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS – www.himss.org) professional certification (CPHIMS), I was convinced that I’d found the right program. The UAB MSHI program is the gold standard for preparing executive-level healthcare IT managers.”

"UAB's MSHI program was created based on real needs in the Healthcare IT industry so it was no surprise to me that the teaching style and curriculum provided excellent preparation for the challenges I face in my position. The MSHI program also does a great job of getting its students connected with leaders in the field through involvement with professional organizations and internships. The MSHI program facilitated my internship at Partners Healthcare in
Boston, which turned out to be an invaluable learning experience. I continue to draw on the knowledge gained and experiences from my time in the MSHI program."

“Completing the MSHI program was the best educational and career move I have ever made. One of the reasons I left a very secure position in upper management was in order to complete this program and after 14 years from when I started the program - - I still have no regrets.”
