Creating pathways to careers in healthcare Tech

Being part of the HIT capstone helped me get out of my comfort zone by being more creative and thinking outside the box. This capstone reassured me to pursue a career in healthcare technology. I am currently working at a medical center where some of my job requirements are project management, research, and database development which is similar to what our capstone project required us to do in finding a solution to our problem.
