The local job market

Who hires HIM staff in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee’s HIM market runs through Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Advocate Aurora, Ascension Wisconsin, and Children’s Wisconsin. Wisconsin is also a national hub for health-records infrastructure (Epic Systems is headquartered 80 minutes west in Verona), which pulls health-data and EHR jobs into the state that go beyond the traditional hospital HIM department.

You are not limited to campus

Online HIM programs work from Milwaukee 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 3 of the 3 Milwaukee programs are too. Employers verify the CAHIIM accreditation and the RHIT or RHIA credential; where the campus sits doesn't come up.

So compare the Milwaukee options against the fully online programs and the rest of the Wisconsin 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.
