The internship program takes 2 semesters to complete: one orientation semester and one internship semester. In order to participate in the HIM Internship the student must have completed or earned credit for HIM 4998. Additionally, many health care organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include, but not be limited to, law enforcement finger printing, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Internship Coordinator to schedule an interview in order to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Information Management program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. A fee may be required as part of the placement application process for the internship program.

The internship program takes 2 semesters to complete: one orientation semester and one internship semester. In order to participate in the HIM Internship the student must have completed or earned credit for HIM 4998. Additionally, many health care organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include, but not be limited to, law enforcement finger printing, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Internship Coordinator to schedule an interview in order to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Information Management program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. A fee may be required as part of the placement application process for the internship program. Students will receive all the information they need, as well as access to internships they may apply for, during HIM 4998 –Internship Orientation.</li> </ul><p><strong>Electives</strong></p><ul> <li>Upon completion of general education, common program pre-req’s, required core, BS required courses (or BA required foreign language), students may still need electives to reach the minimum overall credit hour requirement to be eligible for graduation.

The internship program takes 2 semesters to complete: one orientation semester and one internship semester. In order to participate in the HIM Internship the student must have completed or earned credit for HIM 4998. Additionally, many health care organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include, but not be limited to, law enforcement finger printing, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Internship Coordinator to schedule an interview in order to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Information Management program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. A fee may be required as part of the placement application process for the internship program. Students will receive all the information they need, as well as access to internships they may apply for, during HIM 4998 –Internship Orientation.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Electives</strong></p> <ul> <li>Upon completion of general education, common program pre-req’s, required core, BS required courses (or BA required foreign language), students may still need electives to reach the minimum overall credit hour requirement to be eligible for graduation.
