@yackie7613 Without knowing your curriculum I can't really say how much time it will shave from the 2 years but I'm sure the program chair can let you know. Maybe basic classes can be taken off but pretty much of the 2 years are the core classes so it might take the same time. Just check with the chair. I think online classes are great, I'm doing them myself, but they do take a lot of discipline. Good luck!

@yackie7613 I think what you mean in RHIT vs RHIA. They are basically the same. RHIT is an Associate's degree and RHIA is a Bachelor's degree and has the management courses that the RHIT doesn't have. You can have a very similar career path with both.

Hi, thank you so much for the Q&A, I work full-time and I am a mother of three children, I completely my AA degree this past spring, I very interested in the HIM program, I really don't have the time, however I did find a couple of schools in my state florida, that offer the A.S degree online, in your opinion do you think that taking the courses online would be a great idea, Also one last questions, since I hav A,A completed do you think I would take less then a year to recieve A.S in HIM.

@CoilyShay09 Yes, you can pursue things how you see fit. I do suggest that you sit for the RHIT exam as soon as you finish. Always make a career plan and get yourself a mentor in the HIM field for assistance.

Hello, Thank You for your videos they are very helpful. I am looking at this field as I would like to upgrade my pay. I do have a bachalors degree in business administration. I am interested in trying distance education in regard to HIM but am not sure what way to go about it. Do you need to know alot of the sciences? I m not very good at the sciences. Can you please offer some direction

@fgtsi1 You do have to take classes in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. Those classes build on one another and give you the bases to understand what you read in patient's charts. That is, if you want to be a coder. Yet, those classes are built into the curriculum for all HIM degrees, even if you don't have an interest in being a coder and only focus on software, processes or management/administration.
