Certification Information
The University of Toledo's Health Information Management program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Health Informatics and Information Management (CAHIIM). HIM graduates will be able to sit for the national certification examination to become Registered Health Information Administrators (RHIAs).
After completing your formal education, the next step is to successfully complete an AHIMA certification exam. A credential validates your competence as a HIM professional to employers and the public. There are two key credentials for professionals in the HIM field:
Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA): This credential requires a bachelor's degree and successful performance on the RHIA certification exam. This program of study is available at the University of Toledo.
Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT): A RHIT credential requires an associate's degree and successful performance on the RHIT certification exam. This program is not currently available at the University of Toledo; however, students may choose to attend several local 2-year programs and transfer to the University of Toledo to pursue their baccalaureate degree.
