The Central & North Florida Chapter of HIMSS is dedicated to helping our members grow, and we are proud to offer a CAHIMS & CPHIMS Boot Camp review course to help our members pursue their goals of becoming certified!

The course will be using content from the CPHIMS review course and still applies to the CAHIMS review course but in more detail. If you are looking to study for CAHIMS or CPHIMS, this course will cover items for both exams.
