Projects and Internships
*MSHI Projects
Students without significant healthcare work experience will complete a traditional internship (8 hours) with a preceptor at a pre-approved site from the student’s contacts or from our comprehensive data bank of internship sites.
*Internships
Students with current healthcare work experience will complete and approved healthcare-IT project. Most of the 6 credit –hour project will be completed in the last semester, but it will also include two one-hour mentoring courses in the terms prior to the project. Mentors can be individuals who are considered thought leaders or seasoned professionals in the student’s proposed area of internship/discovery.
HIM Track Applied Project
HIM Track students will complete an applied project during the last two semesters of the MSHI program. The goal of the final project is to increase students' awareness of applied research in health information management practice. The faculty anticipates that the project will also serve as a meaningful contribution to the implementation of the electronic health record in a variety of health care settings.
