Health Information Management

Placement

Nationally, the demand for health information managers far exceeds the number of qualified professionals. Statistics from the Department of Health Manpower indicate that this trend will continue at least until 2010. As an RHIA you can expect an entry-level salary in the lower $40,000 range.

Because of the reputation of our graduates, you can expect excellent placement opportunities. St. Scholastica alumni can be found from Maine to California in a variety of positions inside and outside the hospital setting. Some examples of those positions include:
