I’ve written a few posts recently on similar topics and those are worth reviewing: Che ck out these videos if you’re looking for healthcare IT jobs The realities of getting a job in healthcare IT How to get a job in healthcare IT when you don’t have specific experience My view on HIT (or other technical) certifications The last post in the list above goes into specific detail abo ut what I think about certifications but I didn’t talk much about graduate degrees so I’ll elaborate a bit more on that here.
