On behalf of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) Board of Trustees, Program Director Russ Branzell, and all of the faculty, congratulations to the 41 “graduates” of the 12th offering of the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp. The program’s unique mix of lecture, interactivity, coaching, mentoring and networking opportunities offered a tremendously valuable and rewarding learning experience.

Now Pre-Registering for 2009 Fall Healthcare CIO Boot Camp

CHIME is pleased to announce the next offering of the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp is now open for registration. The unique program, to be held October 24-27, 2009 in Indian Wells, Calif., 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.

What Makes the Boot Camp Different?

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.

Seats in the Program are Limited

Due to the highly interactive nature of this program, space is limited to a maximum of 45 participants. For more details about the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp, visit www.cio-chime.org or send an email to BootCamp@cio-chime.org.
