Professional Practice Experience (PPE)
Bridging the gap from student to employee is difficult to do. To assist Health Information Management (HIM) students with this important transition, the AHIMA House of Delegates on Higher Education (HOD HE) has developed a comprehensive guide for students, programs, and affiliation sites that outline the process for HIM students to have meaningful exposure to the HIM practice environment. This typically involves the student being assigned to a site for a set period of time in order to blend theory (what was learned in the classroom) with practice (real world application). Credentialed HIM practitioners are encouraged to help their college programs with finding PPE sites for HIM students.
