I've recently made a transition from an IT generalist to specializing in HIT and was wondering if anyone is familiar with a DL-based post-bac certificate program that would qualify someone to sit for the RHIA cert exam. I'm not interested in going the route of completing additional undergrad qualifications in pursuit of the RHIT cert and then the RHIA. I have no clinical healthcare experience though I have ~6 years of experience providing various levels of tech support within such an environment. The cost if a factor though I know such programs are limited in number and thus you have to pay to play.
Western Governors University (WGU) offers an online bachelors program that qualifies you to sit for the RHIA. Health Informatics Degree | Online Bachelor
If any undergrad programs were up for consideration it would be this one. I am a huge fan of their format. However, being 2 master degrees in I wonder how going for another bachelor would look? Not as bad as going for an associate would, but still...
