Program Overview
The Health Information Technology Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program at Valencia College with online courses prepares you to go directly into a specialized career in medical records.
Health information professionals play a critical role in health care–even though they rarely interact with patients. Every time you hear a health statistic on the news, read a doctor’s diagnosis in your medical record or use your health insurance card, you can be sure a medical record technician has played a part. Health information technicians are specialists in preparing, analyzing and managing medical records. They play a key role in coding and reimbursement and are considered experts in assuring the privacy and security of health data. In the HIT program at Valencia College, students learn how to collect, analyze, monitor and report health data, using the latest technology. As more doctors and hospitals move toward electronic health records, trained technicians in this field will become more in demand than ever.
