Student Concierge Program
OrHIMA Student Concierge Volunteer Application
The OrHIMA Student Concierge (SC) Program is designed to engage Health Information students with the Oregon health information management association through volunteerism. We believe student volunteers will grow professionally when involved in pre-conference preparation, organizing meeting materials, monitoring education sessions, assist the conference speakers, and communicating association activities with students in the HIM programs. This is a excellent opportunity for students to showcase themselves as a young professional, meet association leaders, work with current directors, build your resume and get involved in the Association.
