Most people say they want a career in AI and healthcare. Very few can name the actual roles this work depends on. This cheatsheet is a reality check. It says to pick a lane. One lane is the Clinical AI Translator who maps workflows, stress‑tests outputs, and educates clinicians. Another is the Governance Safety Lead who owns thresholds, incidents, and policies. There is the Healthcare Data Engineer building pipelines others can trust. Or the Clinical Product Manager aligning regulators, clinicians, and engineers around outcomes. Or the Digital Health Founder validating one painful problem at a time. Or the Workforce Skills Architect designing real AI competency, not slideware. Or the Policy Reimbursement Strategist shaping incentives so validated AI actually gets used. Or the Translational AI Researcher turning papers into externally validated tools. Your current projects, meetings, and responsibilities are already voting, this is not about which title looks impressive. It is about which of these eight careers you are quietly building toward every quarter.

Yesterday I got a comment about Epic, and so many people had questions about Epic jobs. It’s not straightforward, but it’s definitely possible to get into. There are many types of Epic modules, like Willow (Pharmacy), Resolute (Billing), Cupid (Cardiology), OpTime (Surgery), Beacon (Oncology), Cadence (Scheduling), and EpicCare Ambulatory (Clinicals). You really need to be sure which module or path you want to take. For example, I have a pharmacy degree, so if I want to dive deeper into Epic, I would start with Willow, this could open doors and help me grow in the future. Getting an Epic job is not easy; it often requires sponsorship by an organization, hands-on experience, or working in a hospital or behavioral health center. Most Epic certifications are provided through your employer, and you rarely get access independently. One way to get into Epic is to apply for entry-level positions that say “Epic certification preferred, not required.” Many of these roles provide Epic certification within 6 months of hire, making it a great way to start building experience. Even for these roles, employers often look for some healthcare or EHR experience showing superuser experience or involvement in EHR projects can boost your chances. Epic isn’t just for clinicians, there are roles for analysts, trainers, technical support, project managers, and reporting specialists. So even if your background isn’t purely clinical, you might find a path that aligns with your skills. Choosing a module wisely is important based on your background and career goals, and once certified, you can often cross-train into other modules or move into superuser, trainer, or project management roles. Networking also helps a lot. Connecting with current Epic users or alumni on LinkedIn, attending healthcare IT meetups, or joining Epic-focused online groups can provide inside tips on openings, training, and module selection. I’m still gathering more info about Epic certifications and strategies, so if you have tips or experiences about how to get certified, sponsored, or land an Epic role, please share them, I’d love to hear your insights!

Don’t forget that healthcare IT is much bigger than Epic. I’ve talked with a lot of people who are interested in getting into Epic but feel discouraged because so many positions want candidates who are already certified and experienced. And I understand why. Epic is a huge platform with a lot of career opportunities, but sponsorship for certification can be limited, and many organizations are looking for analysts who can step into a role with existing Epic experience. But I want to encourage people not to let that narrow their view of healthcare IT. Epic is only one part of a much larger healthcare technology ecosystem. After more than 14 years working in healthcare IT, I’ve had the opportunity to work with or around many different clinical applications, third-party systems, devices, instruments, and technologies that support patient care. And many of these systems integrate with Epic or operate alongside it. Think about areas such as: 🔹 Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) 🔹 Pharmacy systems and automation, such as Pyxis and Omnicell 🔹 PACS and medical imaging applications 🔹 Clinical documentation and dictation platforms, such as Dragon 🔹 Cardiology applications 🔹 Surgical and anesthesia systems 🔹 Medication administration technologies 🔹 Medical devices and clinical instruments 🔹 Reference laboratory systems 🔹 Middleware and interface engines 🔹 Patient monitoring systems 🔹 Revenue cycle and other downstream applications 🔹 Other EHR platforms such as Oracle Health/Cerner and MEDITECH There are hundreds of applications and technologies involved in delivering healthcare, and each one needs people who understand how to configure, support, integrate, test, implement, and optimize them. And there are multiple paths into this work. 💻 Coming from IT? Look at clinical application support, systems analyst roles, interfaces, integrations, infrastructure, or application teams supporting clinical workflows. 🩺 Coming from a clinical background? Your clinical knowledge can be incredibly valuable when transitioning into application support. Understanding how clinicians actually use technology is a skill that can be difficult to teach. 🔬 Working in a specialized area? Laboratory, pharmacy, radiology, cardiology, surgery, and other clinical departments all have technology supporting their workflows. So if you’re struggling to get your foot in the door with Epic, don’t assume that means healthcare IT isn’t for you. Don’t focus so much on getting into Epic that you overlook the entire ecosystem surrounding it. There’s a lot more to healthcare IT than one EHR! #HealthcareIT #Epic #ClinicalApplications #HealthcareTechnology #HealthTech #HealthcareApplications #ITCareers

After yesterday’s post on the roles that make healthcare AI actually work… a lot of people asked me the next question: “Okay—but who’s actually hiring for this?” Short answer? Almost everyone. But not always in the way you’d expect. Health systems are hiring clinical informaticists, data leaders, and integration roles—but they’re calling it “optimization,” “transformation,” or “digital strategy.” Big tech is hiring aggressively—but they’re looking for people who understand clinical workflows, not just models. Startups are moving fast—but the ones gaining traction all have one thing in common: they’re building around real care delivery, not just technology. And consulting firms? They’re quietly scaling teams to help health systems fix the exact gaps we’ve been talking about—workflow, data, and adoption. Here’s what I’m seeing clearly: The market isn’t just looking for “AI talent.” It’s looking for people who can connect the dots. Clinical + Data + Workflow + Technology Because that’s where most organizations are stuck. They don’t need another tool. They need someone who can walk in and say: → This is where the workflow breaks → This is where the data fails → This is why adoption isn’t happening And more importantly… how to fix it. That’s the real role that’s emerging. Not always labeled. Not always obvious. But absolutely in demand. If you’re in healthcare right now, this is one of the biggest opportunities I’ve seen in years. Curious—are you seeing organizations hiring for this directly… or still trying to fit it into existing roles? #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth #ClinicalInformatics #HealthTech #HealthcareLeadership #AIinHealthcare #DigitalTransformation #HealthIT #ChangeManagement
