So you may take a sigh of relief as you stand more chances to find time and cope up with the trainings along with your work. And it is still not over. You also have the choice of medium of program - can be live, online or a combination of the two.

If you are a non-profit institution based in U.S. and are engaged in providing higher learning healthcare IT training, then you are all game for it. To get some detailed information about the eligibility criteria, you may refer to Healthcare IT News.
