spoondar i know dat ur 4rm kenya okay.

ifeanyi.abdul:
Thanks a bunch for sharing your travel experience! I have learnt a lot from you! God bless you! What a stressful experience u went through; I feel you! Please, I want to get something clear: You advised that once one gets his visa, he should depart ASAP! Is it that the 6 months expiration of ones visa is independent of the 3 months expiration of ones medical? Which do I follow - 6 months or 3 months?

yes your medicals expiration matters. how sure are they you are not bringing a disease into their country? i have left a month after my interview. i believe it is safer that way

afobat2000: spoondar i know dat ur 4rm kenya okay.

ok

Spoondar: Adzovia i am sorry for what happened, am planning to carry swahili sandles to sell there over summer hope i wont pay much.

here is the thing the U.S government expects you to declare any item you plan to sell in the country. i seriously do not know how you can go about that cause am sure you will be required to show your business papers and pay customs and duty on your goods. one thing i know about the usa is that they have huge tax system

You are right Adzovia, however, i observed on the customs and immigration form that would be given to you on the aircraft shortly before landing in US, it states that you must declare all the goods you are carrying regardless if they are for sale or not and also indicated that US Citizens/Legal Immigrants are allowed a tax cut of $800 on such items while Non-Immigrants enjoy only $100.

It's also highly advisable for you to weigh your bags at home before you leave for the airport. Most Airlines allow 2 boxes of 23kg per passenger and a hand luggage different from your laptop bag or things in that category. While for infants, 1 box of 23kg and a hand luggage.

Even though the customs and immigration form shared in the aircraft indicates that Citizens and Legal Immigrant aliens are excluded from filling the form, Please ensure you fill it. I didn't with my family before we arrived Houston Airport. We were made to fill it before we could pass the Immigration Desk.

Did he sat for WAEC at all and what's the grade? Or didn't he made any subject? What do u mean by GCE slip?.is he yet to write the GCE?

im not trying to be pessimistic but i dont think he will be able to convince d co with just a gce slip. What were his grades in d ssce he wrote? Meanwhile, he ought to have written d gce dat was concluded about 2months. Anyway, may God help him.

adzovia: to answer everyone. i went to kotoka international airport to board the delta flight to Philadelphia. i had excess luggage cause my family in the states wanted a lot of fish and african wear. upon reaching the airport the airline said my bags was too heavy. the lady advised me to take one extra bag and put my things inside. after doing that i ended up paying for 2 extra bags which cause me $400. i believed that raised a red flag with them since i did not complain about the money so there was a white lady there who asked the security guys to check my bags. all my bags were opened the fish i parceled nicely so they wont smell were also opened and wrapped back. after all this i was asked to check in my bags and go through immigration. after i was done and i moved upstairs to board the flight, i was asked again to do drug test which i did by urinating in a cup for them. after that i was asked to board. i was annoyed and very disappointed cause i have never gone through such a search throughout my previous travels.
anyway upon reaching JFK in New York which was my point of entry i went through customs and the brown envelope was taken from me. i must state that i met a guy in the room whose medicals had expired and he was threatened with deportation. please leave as soon as you get your visa. so my passport was stamped and my dv number was written on it.
i took my connecting flight to Philadelphia and my folks picked me up to NEW JERSEY. because of all the troubles at the Ghanaian airport i was too tired so after unpacking and taking my bath i went straight to bed. anyway the weather is soo cold remember to bring warm clothings.

its a pity that u went through such annoying stress. Everything happen for a reason. Your experience myt be to teach som1 a lesson that will help him/her get to USA wit our deportation. "...all things worketh together for good of them that believe".
Thank God u made it finally to USA cos u ar stil better than those who had problem or who was never selected @ d first place. Rejoice dear cos ur God "never sleeps nor slumbers", He "watches over you like He watches over Isreal". Though the storm myt rage and sea trembles, our expected end will still be our destination.

Health IT 9-Week Certificate Program

Overview of Health Information Technology and Health Information Exchange Certificate Program:

Nine-week, full-time program offered three times per year (January, June, and September).
Designed to “fast track” university graduates into Health IT employment
Recognition and support from and collaboration with pioneers in the e-health industry, healthcare providers and government
Expert faculty in both theoretical and applied areas of Health IT.
180 hours of course content in healthcare policy, economics, electronic health records, health information exchange, project management, workflow and process redesign, quality improvement, and the business of medicine.
Real-world practicum experience with vendors, consultants and healthcare providers
Professional development and job placement services, including help with resumes, interview skills, and events that connect students with Health IT executives and hiring managers.
Certificate program is first in the nation to:
deliver hands-on learning with multiple electronic health record systems side-by-side in a one-of-a kind Health IT Learning Center
provide a health information exchange laboratory (HIE) for students to gain hands-on experience with healthcare data interoperability in a simulated environment
graduate students from an ONC-funded university based training program!
On average, 92% of program graduates seeking Health IT jobs have found employment with more than 40 organizations in Texas and nationwide
Recognition and affirmation from Dr. Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator, Health Information Technology, and Dr. David Blumenthal, former National Coordinator, Health Information Technology, United States Health and Human Service



“The EHR Learning Lab itself was extraordinary.” A.C.

“It was incredible to have the chance to work with six systems—in all likelihood, no matter which area of the industry I enter into, that knowledge will be an incredible tool.” M.D.

Intensive contact with the Health IT business community is facilitated throughout the program by the inclusion of expert speakers from government and industry.

“I felt privileged to have multiple guest speakers address us from various viewpoints, such as a community health perspective, public policy approach, and global research agenda.” N.F.

“One part of the program that absolutely should not go unnoticed is the quality of the guest speakers that we were fortunate enough to have.” E.H.

“Another facet to the program was various guest speakers from the healthcare and HIT industry. They brought different perspectives and helped tie in topics that I had been reading in journal articles. I will never forget Dr. Deborah Peel and her discussion on patient privacy rights. She exuded passion, dedication, and a thorough understanding of her work. I feel very lucky that knowledgeable speakers were a part of this program.” V.R.

Students in the program are placed into two-week practica in major cities in Texas and around the nation with vendors, consultants, healthcare providers and government. Click here for a list of practicum hosts.

"The final 3 weeks of the program I was assigned to e-MDs for my practicum experience. This is the portion of the program that really got me excited to be involved. I shadowed a support team called the A-team for one week, the implementation project manager team for a week and the onsite chart training team for a week… All in all, the experience with e-MDs was wonderful and got me very excited about my future in HIT, especially since I found that practically everything I learned in the classroom was relevant and applied at e-MDs." D.S.

"Our last class was the practicum where we had a specific internship. I was working in Austin with CTG, a consulting company. I was specifically working on the environmental scan analysis. I had no clue as to what that was going in and asked someone but they said "I don't know, but I'm sure you will know all about it when you're finished". After a week in I knew exactly what it was. I worked with Mr. Jim Campbell looking at the survey responses from several Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) in Texas. We analyzed all of the data received and made conclusions, drew trends, and supported them with charts and graphs. Our conclusions were presented at the Texas Health Services Authority board meeting which was really exciting to see! We were also working on finding more about e-prescribing in different pharmacies as well as public health. I used the terminology from our workflow class and used the combined knowledge of all of the classes to give me a basic understanding of what was going on. They treated us like junior analysts and gave us a lot of work to do, but it was all worth it." S.T.

Students

To help graduates who successfully complete the program find immediate employment in the field of Health IT, students are provided with career resources including workshops on resumes and cover letters, informational interviewing, and job interview preparation. A highlight of the program is the opportunity for students to carry out research projects focused on current topics in Health IT and to present their findings to industry experts in a poster format.

A total of 333 students (in six cohorts ) have graduated from the program since June 2010. Employment statistics for graduates seeking Health IT jobs averages 92%. The number of on-campus interviews facilitated for each cohort has grown over time, and students receive from 2-11 interviews. The average salary of program graduates is 52,000. Salaries accepted by graduates have ranged from $42,000 - >$100,000.
