What makes our students great interns?
BFIT’s bachelor of science degree program in Health Information Technology (HIT) is the only one in Massachusetts that is technology-centric and interdisciplinary. Students receive in-depth instruction in both healthcare and the latest information technology to support the healthcare industry. Courses in healthcare include introduction to healthcare systems, medical terminology, medical coding and classification, healthcare compliance and contemporary ethical and legal issues. Courses in computer technology focus on hands-on training in use of health databases, networking and information security.
The program requires BS students in their last semester to complete a capstone project, where they engage in problem-based learning to tackle a challenge drawn from industry, and an internship in a healthcare organization.
BFIT partners closely with healthcare employers that serve as host sites for our student interns.
