About
The Professional Practice Experience (PPE) is an opportunity for students to reinforce skills and competencies learned in the classroom through real world application. The PPE is designed to provide students with practical work experience in the HIM competencies and domains that focus on skill building and practical application of theory. PPE will be experienced in the student's final semester of coursework. The number of hours spent on-site at practicum locations totals 135 hours or the equivalent of a 3 credit hour class. The PPE must be completed by the end of the semester enrolled. With the approval of the HIM Program Director and PPE site, students may enroll for up to 6 credit hours should the numbers of hours exceed 135 hours.
