After a few years of lapsed membership, I was able to rejoin the Academy of Health Information Professionals at the Senior level!

I’m very excited to add a few more letters after my name, and the extra motivation to participate in professional activities is a nice bonus.

For anyone unfamiliar with this certification, AHIP is a career development program for health information professionals like medical librarians. It shows employers and colleagues that you:

• meet a standard of professional education, experience, and accomplishment,
• are committed to career development, and
• have support in setting and reaching career goals.
