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.

I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. 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).
