This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu.

It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM).
