The local job market

Who hires HIM staff in Adelphi.

Adelphi shows up on this list because the University of Maryland Global Campus is headquartered here, running multiple online HIM programs; there is no hospital cluster in Adelphi itself. The actual local market is the Washington, DC metro: MedStar Health, Inova, Johns Hopkins Medicine’s DC-area hospitals, Children’s National, and the federal health sector all within commuting range.

You are not limited to campus

Online HIM programs work from Adelphi too.

HIM is one of the few healthcare fields you can train for entirely online: 206 of the 350 CAHIIM-accredited programs nationwide are fully online, and 1 of the 3 Adelphi programs is too. Employers verify the CAHIIM accreditation and the RHIT or RHIA credential; where the campus sits doesn't come up.

So compare the Adelphi options against the fully online programs and the rest of the Maryland field before you decide. Local can still win on price (community and technical colleges usually beat private online tuition) and on clinical-site relationships, but it should win on the merits, not by default.
