Students in Health information management (HIM) have a bright future ahead of them in a growing industry. Current HIM students will have unprecedented opportunities to excel in HIM and beyond, as thought leaders for larger healthcare topics. AHIMA created the Student Advisory Council (SAC) to engage this important section of membership.
Student Advisory Council members represent AHIMA’s student population, taking part in shaping future programs for students, and initiating new activities relevant to student membership. Sitting on AHIMA’s Student Advisory Council prepares student members to be future HIM and AHIMA leaders.
AHIMA Student Advisory Council members are required to participate in monthly conference calls and contribute written content for the Student Connection eNewsletter and other web content. Other activities include:
- Providing input and feedback for projects designed for AHIMA student members
- Shaping the program for AHIMA’s annual student academy at convention
- Participating in an in-person meeting at AHIMA’s annual convention
