I have been EPIC certified for about 3 years now, and I love being an EPIC trainer. I had a major career change coming from being a Customer Service Dept. Manager for a global IT company. I believe my background with systems, especially SAP Enterprise has allowed me to succeed in this field. NO ONE in my org has healthcare background, and do come from wide range of fields from IT to engineers because of the high growth and opportunity, to the fast-paced environment. It does appear that bachelors of science or higher appears to be the norm. My BS is in Business Administration/MIS from San Jose State. Here in CA, EPIC jobs are opening up daily as healthcare systems have committed to EPIC implementation. My org has GOLIVES weekly, and I am in a great org with about 70 EPIC analysts/trainers. Travel in-state is very common, but appears throughout the orgs (kaiser, etc) you can have a choice of staying in your metro area. I have noticed that many resumes that come in and interviews that I sit in (panel interviews are common), come from out of state. I can say that wherever you are, ask to be a SUPERUSER. This will serve to lay the groundwork as to whether you would like to be a part of EPIC implementation. After that, I can say get ready for MADISON, WI, because you live and breathe EPIC as it is intense training. GL.

Sutter is in Implementation stage across the board. GOLives weekly. Exciting time for us EPIC analyts/trainers.
