Health information technology programs in Tennessee

16 health information programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

15 schools offer these health information technology programs, and Tennessee has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Health information technologists and medical registrars help design electronic healthcare systems and analyze clinical data; some specialize in electronic health records systems, including setting them up and training staff. Most need at least an associate degree in health information management or a related field, and employers may prefer certification or expect it after hiring.1

In Tennessee, 6 of the 16 programs take students without a high school diploma and 10 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 16 programs here are health information technology (associate degree, 5 programs), health information certificate or diploma (5 programs), electronic health records specialist (CEHRS, 5 programs) and health information program (level not stated, 1 program).

Where the Tennessee health information technology program numbers come from

Which Tennessee health information technology programs are on this list?

These are the health information technology programs Tennessee approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Tennessee offers.

How the prices and results of Tennessee health information technology programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
