Optimum Healthcare IT & University of Rhode Island Partner for Optimum CareerPath Program


March 17, 2021 – Optimum Healthcare IT, a Best in KLAS healthcare IT staffing and consulting services company, announced today that they have partnered with the University of Rhode Island (URI) in the Optimum CareerPath™ apprenticeship program. The CareerPath program is a first-of-its-kind apprenticeship program in Healthcare IT that creates career pathways between college students and the healthcare industry.

URI and Optimum Healthcare IT share a desire for URI students and recent alumni to have access to careers in Healthcare IT. URI students entering the Optimum CareerPath program will go through an immersive training program that includes two phases. The first phase consists of Core and Technical Education, where a solid foundation of healthcare and healthcare IT knowledge is formed. Upon completing phase one, students will then move into their respective application-specific technical tracks for phase two, focusing on specific IT skills and platforms used by healthcare organizations. After training, the students will join Optimum project teams serving clients across the United States.

In addition to CareerPath training, apprentices will receive a certification from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHiME) and training on specific applications or platforms necessary to succeed in their new roles.

Healthcare organizations need additional IT staffing and are pursuing various approaches to both attract and retain staff. Whether it is specialists capable of implementing and supporting electronic health record (EHR) systems, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, data analysts, or data engineers, the Optimum CareerPath program can provide the right resources.

About The University of Rhode Island
