What certifications can an M.S. in Health Informatics & Analytics help you pursue?

By Emily Rodriguez

Certification programs are great professional development opportunities, and upon completion, the credentials earned make your resume stand out from the rest in the workplace. Although it does not supplement a degree, it shows mastery and commitment to staying up-to-date in the industry.

We’ve listed some of the most valuable certifications from the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) that employers look for. Please note that a basic requirement for eligibility is having successfully completed an accredited master’s program.

Is a certification necessary to work in health informatics?

They give credibility and show you are committed to effectively adapting in this ever-growing industry. Studies have shown that certified individuals earn higher salaries and gain more opportunities for career advancement. So, although they aren’t required, they are great for professional development.
