Upon successful completion of the program, the student is granted a Bachelor of Science degree in health information management and becomes eligible to write the national examination for certification. The student already holding a baccalaureate degree may apply for the HIM program as specified in the Application Guidelines and work toward another baccalaureate degree provided the pre-professional course of study as stated has been successfully completed, and thus establish eligibility to write the certification examination. Accredited health information technicians are urged to contact the Program Director for information regarding RHIA progression. The national certification examination is given once each year by the American Health Information Management Association. Copyright Arkansas Tech University, Russellville, Arkansas.
