Consort University Accelerated Career Training (ACT) Program

This accelerated professional development training program is designed to quickly prepare individuals with associate or higher degrees to enter the growing field of healthcare information technology. The primary purpose of this course is to address the shortage of healthcare IT personnel necessary to meet the implementation and management of systems spurred by the healthcare reform HITECH Act. The course is offered in two formats: the 15-week accelerated program or the 8-week ultra-accelerated program. Both programs are available through live classes or on-line instruction. The curriculum of this intensive course has three modules:

  • Healthcare IT regulations and infrastructure

  • Applications of information technology in healthcare with emphasis on hospitals and integrated delivery networks

  • Practical hands-on use and training

The Consort University ACT program further improves the prospects of participant’s success through the combination of internship programs that provide the trainees with valuable field experience.
