"I think the program is well designed and covers all necessary material. I appreciate that it takes into consideration our current knowledge and allows us to 'fast track.' I love that the unit tests are scored electronically and immediately. We know where we are and can keep track. I was afraid I would feel bogged down but I don't."
– Mary M., Loudonville, NY
"I have had a few times when I felt a bit overwhelmed with using different books and handouts, but it all comes together every time. If I haven't quite grasped something it will always be made clear in another book or handout."
– Nancy S., Hermitage, PA
"The ASHIM® Health IT Program is a comprehensive, well-structured, and reasonably paced self-study program that really gave me a sense of achievement once completed.

Having successfully completed the ASHIM® Health IT Program, I am much more knowledgeable of all HIT related processes and feel much better positioned to explore more challenging opportunities."
– John W., West Mclean, VA

– Debra H., Round Rock, TX
"The ASHIM® Health IT program was not what I expected. I thought it would be a lot of computer jargon I wouldn't understand… that was not the case! The textbooks for the course were very easy to understand and follow. This course was very informative; everything was explained in detail and if you had a question, your coaches were a mouse click away! Working full time I didn't think that I would be able to complete the course in the time allowed but [I found] with the lesson plan – that was not the case. I was able to work at my own pace and not be pressured. I would definitely recommend this online course to anyone."
– Dorothy A., Hamilton, OH
"Learn at your own pace, ask questions anytime, and get a quick reply. It's perfect for the working individual!"
– Ken M., Colombia, MO
"The CHISP® certification has really been an asset for me. The certification not only validated my health IT skill sets as a Registered Nurse and IT professional, it showed me the specific areas that I needed to improve upon. Since obtaining the certification, I obtained a new position with a major health care IT vendor. I would encourage anyone interested in furthering their HIT career to obtain this certification which includes a broad spectrum of clinical information, technology, and current events."
– Cathy G., Beaver, PA
"The training I have received from ASHIM® has provided me with the opportunity to succeed in my career goals! Thank You!"

They were able to put my mind at ease and I was able to successfully complete the course and pass the certification exam. It was tough but anything worth having will NOT come easy. I would say that this is definitely an investment well worth every penny!"
– Betty G., Irving, TX
"I am very glad that I took the CHISP® course; I have really loved it! I think it will ensure my continued employment and provide a platform for me to spring ahead in my career.

– Adrienne D., West Hartford, CT
"I took the ASHIM® Health Information Technology Professional program in order to expand my current business into a health care IT practice. I have found the courses to be very thorough and challenging. Whether one comes from an IT or health care background it is well worth the investment. I look forward to becoming a Certified Health Informatics Systems Professional."
– Sarah G., Richland, MI
"I took this class hoping to get a better job. I'd been working at Wendy's and just graduated from high school. It worked! I just got a REAL job offer! It is to do data entry with a big health care company! They told me it was my health IT training with ASHIM® that made up their minds! I feel so great about myself! Thank you ASHIM®!"
– Briana J., Salt Lake City, UT

I'm really happy that I have taken advantage of the opportunity. I encourage anyone who might have interest in furthering their career in the field of health care or health IT, to take advantage of this course. It will definitely help you to move forward."
