Director's Message

A Message From the Program Director

director Welcome to the Health Information Management Program in the College of Health Sciences at Tennessee State University where students matter most. Your decision to make a career transition to the field of Health Information Management is a fantastic choice. Health Information Management (HIM) is dynamic in an ever-changing world of healthcare. Computerization and legislative action have a great significance in the HIM profession.

I strongly encourage you to be part of this profession which soars higher, dreams larger, grows stronger, climbs farther, and inspires others to manage healthcare data and protect the privacy and security of health information. Additionally, as one of the fastest growing occupations in the health care industry, a career in HIM places you right at the intersection where health care meets the cutting edge of technology.

Healthcare + Technology = Success for You

I hope this website provides an answer to your inquiry. If you have questions or need additional information, contact me at ekunnu@tnstate.edu, or by phone at 615-963-7441. The Health Information Management department is currently located in the Tom Jackson Industrial Technology Building on the third floor, Room 314.

Elizabeth I. Kunnu, Ed.S, M.Ed, RHIA, CPAR
