The Health Informatics and Information Management (HIIM) Program supports recent changes in the U.S. health care system as well as the demand for higher educational standards by preparing you to find employment as health informatics professionals and specialists. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights that employment of health information technologists and medical registrars is projected to grow 16 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 3,100 openings for health information technologists and medical registrars are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire. The median annual wage for health information technologists and medical registrars was $62,990 in May 2023.
