Members

Being a member of MoHIMA assures that you have a platform to influence your future.

MoHIMA delegates, whom you elect, represent your views and opinions at the national level. These delegates will also keep MoHIMA and you abreast of all current developments that relate to Health Information Management. You have a voice that can be heard!

MoHIMA also provides you with the tools and education to promote yourself when pursuing your career. This is done through state and local meetings, educational events and round tables. One of the largest events at the state level is the annual MoHIMA meeting. This event brings together members from all over the state, along with some people from outside the state, that work in many different settings, which allows for extensive networking. Seminars are offered on relevant topics related to the Health Information Management industry.

Within MoHIMA, there are several local associations that also provide the resources necessary to remain up to date on all aspects of health information management. These local associations are listed in this handbook for you to contact in the event that you may have any questions.
