AHIMA Career Center — Monday, October 9, through Wednesday, October 11, 2017
The AHIMA Career Center is the perfect place to explore your current and future paths in health information management (HIM). Whether it is hearing from dynamic speakers in the Career Prep Theater, meeting with recruiters at the AHIMA Career Fair, having your headshot taken by a professional photographer, or having your resume reviewed, you don’t need to be currently looking for a career opportunity, but you just may find your next step!
  • AHIMACon16’s Career Fair was a smash: featuring free makeovers from Bobbi Brown beauty consultants before having a free professional photo taken, attendees were able to meet with over a dozen prestigious HIM companies that had current openings, pick up a printed guide with additional job postings, and meet with a career coach for a resume review. Make time in your busy AHIMACon schedule to spend time at the AHIMA Career Fair in Los Angeles!
  • The Career Prep Theater is one of the hidden gems of AHIMACon: an intimate space where industry leaders and employers speak with students, new graduates, and HIM professionals who are dedicated to growing and exploring in their careers. The strategies you learn—and professional contacts you make—may make a huge difference as you plan your future.
Past presentations have included:
Non-Traditional HIM Careers 
Emerging HIM Roles and Alternative Pathways
AHIMA Foundation Apprenticeship Program: Win-Win for Employers and New Grads

UCH turns Shoprite as car park carries tarrif

By Comr Emjay
UCH is making life hard for us as patients. we pay thousands here in this hospital so is it going to be okay or nice enough to start paying for parking space too. this another means of privatization that we are shouting we don't want. this was said by a patient glancing through the fee when the press crew was moving around the venue. Another patient said, only places where people catch fun is where gate fee or park spaces are paid for. But imagine we have a family member here lying down, we are yet to gather the funds for that, so it is car parking tariff that we should be looking for now  . The security man in charge said that was what he saw early today, he also said he does not think it is the next thing to do but when the C.S.O comes tomorrow we will ask pressing questions like are staffs going to be paying too? we look forward for good things not privatization again.
