Teaching Philosophy and Practice: My goal is to graduate students that understand the purpose and importance of health information to our healthcare systems, having gained skills to collect, organize, code, analyze, and protect health information, and to inspire students with attitudes and principles that will give them the ability to continue to grow with a healthcare industry that is rapidly changing and expanding. The program’s classroom interaction coupled with excellent clinical experiences provided by our community’s healthcare providers creates effective learning experiences while promoting skill development. This learning and skill development is ultimately tested after graduation when students sit for the national certification as a Registered Health Information Technologist. The exam results are collected with the data being used to gage the success of what is being taught in this HIT program and pinpoint any areas of deficiency. My role as an educator in Health Information Technology has much in common with my love of learning. Striving to be a self-directed learner myself, I push students to be learning oriented as a life-long skill in itself. I believe gaining knowledge should be enjoyable as much as it is hard work. Creating an accepting atmosphere in the classroom that facilitates no wrong questions and answers that especially when discovered to be wrong promote the most memorable learning.
