Where Did You Start and How Did You Get Here? The Story of Your Healthcare Career Path – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 4/28 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Lizzie Barrett (@eliztbarrett) on the topic of “Where Did You Start and How Did You Get Here? The Story of Your Healthcare Career Path”.

I’ve found that there is no ‘one answer’ when the question ‘What led you to a career in health IT?’ is asked. The paths that got each of us here are singular, and I think that point is best proven in hearing your stories.

Passions and pursuits are often times changed, molded, and shaped by experiences. We may all be in a similar place now, but the journeys that brought each of us here are our unique stories. The variety of these stories is what gives our industry its depth. The common interests and motivators are what create community. So let’s hear your story!

Join us on Friday April 28th at 12:00pm ET as we discuss the following questions on #HITsm:
