The post-baccalaureate Certification in Health Information Administration (CHIA) program requires a total of 32 Credits as listed on the CHIA Program of Study. Prerequisites are required for two of the HIM courses. HIM 2210 Medical Linguistics requires Medical Terminology and HIM 4210 Statistics, Registries and Research requires a Statistical Math course. Students may choose to take these at UT or transfer in equitable course credit from another college/university.
Students must complete 25% of the program hours and the last 12 hours in residency. This relates to being enrolled at UT in eLearning, not a house address.
Please note that students without a strong history in health care should consider taking HIM 3200-995 Healthcare Resources, Payers, and Consumers as an elective and introductory course into the field. Additionally, anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology are beneficial to those without a strong science background (extremely helpful when coding).
Students lacking business or computer information management courses in their backgrounds should consider taking any of the following electives to improve your business and IT management knowledge level.
ACTG 2310-995 Financial Management in Healthcare
CNET 2150-995 Hardware Architecture and Management
CMPT 1420-995 Database Management Systems Applications
CMPT 1410-995 Electronic Spreadsheet Applications
CMPT 2460-995 Advanced Electronic Spreadsheet Applications [1410 prereq]
BUAD 3030-995 Managerial and Behavior Processes in Organizations
HCAR 4360-995 Quality Improvement in Healthcare
