==================================

Welcome!!

I am Hertencia Bowe, Program Manager for Health Information Management and Coding.  I will be your guide for this exciting journey through the Health Information Management programs at Polk Community College! I am licensed as a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) and a member of the Central Florida Health Information Management Association.  I have definite plans on pursuing a doctoral degree in education in the near future.

During the past five years, I have had a great time working in the health information management (HIM) field.  My health information management experiences include medical record coding, project management, HIM supervision, online course development, online teaching and HIM consulting.  Prior to moving to Florida in February of 2005, I worked with a hospital in Atlanta, GA as a certified coder for the internal medicine section. My prior job experiences also include working as an adjunct instructor within a Health Information Technology Program.  My teaching assignments included; Introduction to Health Services and Information Systems, Health Information Processes & Data Applications and Healthcare Quality.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy picnics, live music, the theater, traveling, shopping and exercising.

Please know that it is my duty to lead students through this program and help them move forward into a rewarding career in health information management.  Therefore, do not hesitate to contact me with any question regarding the HIM programs here at PCC.

I look forward to meeting you and I hope you find our website very informative!
