  • This is a very exciting time to be exploring a career in Health IT Support! In this introductory course, you?ll learn about various roles in IT support that are common in healthcare. IT support staff play critical roles in many different healthcare venues.

Each of these individuals rely on IT support specialists to help them maintain a high reliability healthcare organization. As you learn about what makes Health IT unique, we hope you find inspiration in the stories shared by some of our very own IT support staff at Johns Hopkins.
