Why PCC?
The Pueblo Community College Health Information Technology and Management (HITM) program provides a student-centered experience in programs designed to create workforce-ready graduates who successfully complete professional credentialing exams and meet the needs of future employers.
PCC’s HITM programs are fully online so they can accommodate students who have other commitments. (The possible exception is 135 hours of internship time at the end of the program.) Graduates are prepared for work not only in their communities, but also for the many remote positions available in today’s economy.
All program tracks include stackable certificates and degrees, from mini certificates to a Bachelor of Applied Science degree, offering students the opportunity and eligibility to sit for various professional credentialing exams. (The BAS degree is presently in Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education candidacy status.)
PCC graduates will understand the issues in contributing to quality healthcare, have a heart for the needs of the patient population, and have the technological skills to deliver excellent support to frontline providers and manage all aspects of the health record. The PCC HITM department values engagement with our professional community and has dedicated, well-educated staff with deep knowledge and experience in many areas of HITM.
The HITM program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM) and the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). In addition, the program is an Approved Educational Partner of the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
