Does anyone out there work the Go Lives?

[aprilhicks]

Just wondering how many of you actually work go lives? I have worked on and off, outside of my regular job, traveling to other cities to help with go lives. I wonder how many people have started doing this as a career. If so, what are your normal pay rates? Wondering if this would be something I could do full time.

Thanks!

A lot of the traing happens when you are on a project. For go lives, it's sometomes a week so the consultants get to know the specific needs for the health care system they're supporting. More intense training happens when you get on a project where you do training classes. That is usually 6 weeks, then you take a test and do a presentation in front of the instructional designer and an Epic person. You must pass both to become credentialed.

Once you have set up your Linked In account, join any groups regarding Epic to receive postings on current positions needing to be filled. It's also a good way to network.
