HI Tim! Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you. Things have been extremely busy here at work and we have been putting in some long hours. I will try to get some time in the next week or two and look at this a
little closer. I may also be able to talk to a couple of people here and see if they have some suggestions too. I will let you know.
Thanks!

Subject: HIT/IT Certificate
Gail,
The Health Information Technology and our department are working on a new certificate. I would be interested in hearing any thoughts you might have on this course of study.
We are also looking for people who can help us with Topics class suggestions. The Topics class could be a project type class like System Project, or more encryption, or more database work, or different software programs, or ...
