One of the things that sets this field apart is that there is little or no direct contact with patients. The following are a sampling of the duties health information technicians typically perform: • analyzing and evaluating health records that comply with health information standards and regulations; • compiling various types of administrative and health statistics for research and public policy planning and assessment; • coding symptoms, diseases, operations, procedures, and other therapies for maximum reimbursement; • transcribing medical records and reports; • ensuring that health information is complete and available to legitimate users while protecting patient privacy and information security; and • maintaining and utilizing a variety of health record indexes and storage and retrieval systems. DACC offers a rigorous course of study to prepare graduates for employment as health information technicians, which includes computer literacy, professional practice skills, and life skills such as critical analytical thinking, problem solving, and good study habits. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will have numerous options. Job prospects for HIT professionals are very good because their skills are necessary throughout the entire health care industry. They can work in a wide variety of settings and can be employed in any organization that utilizes health information. These work settings include physician practices, hospitals, managed care organizations, long-term care facilities, behavioral health facilities, ambulatory care facilities, rehabilitation centers, home health care providers, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, consulting and law firms, skilled nursing facilities, and federal and state governmental agencies.

Every new home, hospital, university building, shopping mall, or office complex requires in-
stallation mechanics, service technicians, operating engineers, maintenance foremen, and trained crews to keep complex environmental systems operating efficiently. The heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry is one of the country’s most stable. The supply of qualified, trained people has not kept pace with the demand, and new opportunities are constantly developing. The demand for trained HACR graduates is also increasing due to Environmental Protection Agency requirements that refrigerants be handled by a certified technician. Technicians knowledgeable in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration are also needed in defense, space exploration, and manufacturing. Because climate control is important wherever microprocessors are used in manufacturing or scientific research, skilled technicians are in demand in these fields. Many experienced technicians own and manage their own businesses. The Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration program at DACC uses training facilities equipped with the most modern test equipment and tools available. As a student, you will learn to— • service, repair, and maintain heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems; • read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and symbols in order to diagnose and troubleshoot problems in a system; • evaluate, diagnose, and service various mechanical and electrical controls; • apply the mathematics related to the heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration trade; • handle customer relations, shop management procedures, and record keeping relative to the trade; • properly use special tools and testing equipment. • become certified in Section 608, EPA certification. A unique cooperative training program is offered during the final semester to provide students with field experiences. Working side by side with journeymen technicians, students are offered an opportunity to practice and refine their new skills. After the first semester, full-time heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration students must purchase a personal set of technician’s tools (approximate cost, $850). The tool set includes the basic tools that most employers require on the job. Part-time students will purchase only those tools required by the specific course(s) in which they are enrolled. Students will also provide their own medical/accident insurance. They need to be in good physical condition and possess the ability and desire to work with their minds and hands. The curriculum is competency based and uses multimedia classroom instruction and hands-on laboratory exercises. Classroom and laboratory hours are listed in the Schedule of Classes. All heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration students are eligible to join SkillsUSA. Membership provides students an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and to become proficient in public speaking and parliamentary procedure. SkillsUSA also offers students a chance to demonstrate their occupational skills. Skill competitions are conducted each year in New Mexico for all postsecondary students. During the last semester prior to graduation, students will be required to take the Industry Competency Examination (ICE) or other approved national competency examinations. There will be an additional testing fee. Associate Degree (67 credits) NOTE: Students must receive a final grade of C or better in all required OEAR courses.
