Fifty-two Graduate from CHIME Healthcare CIO Boot Camp

The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) would like to congratulate the 52 graduates of the 13th offering of the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp, which took place in Indian Wells, Calif., October 24-27. The program’s unique mix of lecture, interactivity, coaching, mentoring and networking opportunities offered a tremendously valuable and rewarding learning experience.

“Congratulations to all our Boot Camp graduates and many thanks for the tremendous service you are providing to the industry,” said Keith Fraidenburg, Vice President of Education & Communications at CHIME. “Your commitment and dedication to developing the next generation of leaders is truly extraordinary.”

These new graduates now make-up an exclusive group of 600 program alumni who have shown the tremendous dedication and commitment required to advance their careers, their profession, and the industry. CHIME wishes to thank everyone involved for making the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp so successful.

Here’s just a sampling of the positive feedback from the participants:

• “This program has profoundly affected me, and I will be a better IT leader for it.”

• “It has been a fantastic experience. It has reinforced many things that I believe and work on in my role.”

• “Wow…what an amazing three days! I have learned so much and still have so much to learn. I appreciate the faculty's willingness to share personal stories with us.”

• “Content was excellent, relevant, and well presented. This program was the most valuable use of my time this year. Thank you!”

• “This has been a good eye-opening experience. Good relationships were formed with people with like concerns, experiences I can learn from.”

• “Honestly, one of the best training programs I have ever experienced!”

• “This is a stellar program that commits to the personal and professional development of all attendees. I wish we could have been together longer, because the value of the program, faculty, support staff, and students was entirely priceless!”

The next offering of the CHIME Healthcare CIO Boot Camp is now open for registration. The unique program, to be held April 10-13, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois, is specifically designed to help CHIME members and their direct reports reach the highest levels of success. Teaching methods are intense, but the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp will equip those eager to learn with the tools they need to succeed.

This is the most informative, incisive, and interactive opportunity available for healthcare CIO development. Combining presentations, small group discussion, case study, mentoring, coaching, and interactive problem solving, the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp's learning methodology is practical, personal, and uniquely tailored to the needs of participants. To reinforce the program's teachings, participants are paired with a faculty member who'll serve as their mentor and coach throughout the program - a personal approach to learning you just won't find anywhere else.

Due to the highly interactive nature of this program, space is limited. For more details about the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp, visit http://www.cio-chime.org/events/ciobootcamp/index.asp.
