Health Information Management Faculty

Gail I. Smith, MA, RHIA, CCS-P

 Where do you work?

I am the program director and associate professor at the University of Cincinnati (HIA distance learning program)

  How long have you been there?

It will be 3 years in November, 2007

  What classes do you teach?

Presently, I teach the senior students in their Capstone and Practicum courses

  Why did you choose this path in HIM?

Teaching was my first choice of majors in college before I discovered the HIM field. In 1979, I began teaching part-time in the local community college and eventually was hired full-time.

  Benefits to being an educator?

I enjoy working with students and making a difference by assisting them with their educational goals. Our program at the University of Cincinnati is delivered via distance education; therefore, students are located across the United States. This educational model provides for a rich learning environment for both students and faculty.

  Comments for the international HIM education community.

I look forward to interacting with educators around the world that are committed to HIM education.
