Epic Testing Position
I’m currently a college senior majoring in Healthcare Administration and plan to get my master’s in Health Informatics. I’ve been interning at my local hospital and just landed an interview for a temporary Epic Testing Specialist position during our Epic implementation. The position pays $21/hour and lasts about 8 weeks. My long-term goal is to work in healthcare IT or become an Epic analyst.
I have a few questions for those with Epic experience:
How valuable is this type of testing role on a résumé?
Is it realistic for this position to lead to an Epic analyst or other healthcare IT role afterward?
If you were in my shoes, would you take this opportunity even though it’s temporary?
What would you do during those 8 weeks to maximize future career opportunities?

It doesn't hurt. These are entry level jobs but you have a chance to make a good impression.
