During a lifetime, an average individual generates a vast amount of medical and health care information. From infant immunizations to operations and allergies, we rely on competent professionals to gather, organize, and maintain this sometimes lifesaving information to help us live life to the fullest.

| Medical Sciences Mission Statement: |
To provide allied health students with a personal and professional learning centered education.
|
| Career Opportunities: |
In 2002, more than 147,000 individuals were employed as Medical Coding Specialists and other health information professionals. Approximately 37 percent of the people in this field work in a hospital setting; more opportunities are developing in niche markets [such as insurance companies] as the need for superior data collection and management grows. This career category is projecting more than a 30 percent increase in job opportunities through 2012. Primary reasons for this increase are increased testing procedures and greater scrutiny from third-party payers and regulatory agencies.
