PRE-HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
(MEDRC-AA)

PRIMARY ADVISER:  Melissa Moore (ext. 2853)

PROGRAM GOAL:   This program is designed to prepare students for upper division studies in health information management (formerly medical record librarian) at the state universities of UCF, FIU, and FAMU.  Completers of the B.S. degree in health information management are eligible to sit for the national certification examination.  A passing score on this exam confers the designation of Registered Record Administrator (RRA).  The RRA develops patient information systems, participates in research, and establishes a data base for health care statistics.  The RRA is responsible for processing medical records, filing insurance, and protecting the confidentiality rights of patients.  Admission to the university program requires the completion of the A.A. degree, including the general education and foreign language requirements.  It is strongly advised that students carefully examine the catalog of the university to which transfer is planned.
