I've had a lot of people reach out to me about getting ahead in Informatics.

Lets share thoughts on opportunities for professional development in health informatics, such as certifications, conferences, and continuing education courses. This could help others who are interested in pursuing a career in health informatics better understand how to advance their skills and knowledge.

I am currently pursuing a Masters in Health Informatics and will be graduating soon in August 2023. I would like to gain some insights about landing my 1st job in informatics as I dont have any experience in that field.I have been a PT for last 13yrs

I received my masters in August of 2022. Got board certified in September 2022. Received my epic clinical informatics certification in February 2022 and my Cogito certification in December 2022 (sponsored through my employer of course). In the process of doing my ClinDoc certification. I am a member of ANIA and HIMSS as well as the HIMSS informatics task force (we meet monthly). Go to as many conferences (HIMSS, User Group meetings, etc) that you can. Present projects if you have one to present. Get on LinkedIn and network. Listen to Health IT podcasts and learn as much as you can through there. LOTS of stuff you can do to help advance your career. You just have to have the passion for it! So happy to see others trying to grow in this career. I love informatics ❤️

PS: This was my first interview in the switching process so I’m not sure if I could have landed better offers or if this is the best I could get.
