About Vincennes University
Vincennes University is a public university located in Vincennes, Indiana. Founded in 1801 by William Henry Harrison, the school is the eldest public post-secondary education institution in the state of Indiana.
Vincennes University offers the following healthcare-related courses:
Practical Nursing
This program is two semesters and one summer session in length, admitting one class annually in August. Graduates provide nursing care to clients in situations of varying complexity under the direction of qualified health professionals. Students receive laboratory instruction and guidance in college laboratory, acute and long-term care facilities and community agencies. Students are responsible for transportation related to clinical experiences.
Health Information Management
The health information management (HIM) field places you right where the expanding arena of healthcare meets the cutting edge of technology. HIM professionals are the experts on patient data that doctors, nurses, and other providers rely on to perform their jobs. This field of study is sometimes referred to as medical records, but as you can see, the opportunities are far greater! With new healthcare initiatives, hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare facilities need professionals that can understand electronic health information networks and exchanges. HIM professionals code, digitize and create electronic patient records while improving electronic data integrity. Some professionals manage the entire process, check for accuracy and secure the information as required by law.
