The Project Management Professional (PMP) credential, from The Project Management Institute (PMI), is one of the most valued credentials in project management. It helps assure employers that holders are committed to project management, and can take responsibility for all aspects of a project for its entire lifespan. Furthermore, PMP certified individuals are expected to be able to lead and direct cross-functional teams to deliver projects within the constraints of schedule, budget and resources, and to demonstrate sufficient knowledge and experience to appropriately apply a methodology to projects that have reasonably well-defined project requirements and deliverables.
For example, current opportunities on Healthcare IT Central where a PMP certification is required or preferred include:
Delivery Lead
EMR Project Manager
Meaningful Use Program Manager
Six Sigma Project Manager
Interim PMO Director
Healthcare IT Central has teamed up with Career Boss to provide an affordable online 57-hour PMP Certification training course that will prepare you to successfully pass the PMP Certification exam. At $650, the training course is significantly less expensive than “boot-camp” alternatives, but the best news is, we’ve negotiated a 20% discount for the Healthcare IT Central/Healthcare IT Today community, so the final fee is $520 – a very worthwhile career investment!
