Avnet to Host HealthPath University at HIMSS

In addition to its exhibit at HIMSS, Avnet will also hold a HealthPath^®University in conjunction with HIMSS16. At Avnet’s HealthPath University, participating partners work with industry experts and receive in-depth healthcare market training. This unique face-to-face training curriculum for IT solution providers focuses on trends, terminology, regulatory and compliance challenges, and technology needs in the healthcare industry. This year, the one-day training on February 29 at The LINQ Hotel, Las Vegas, combines instruction-led classroom study with a visit to the HIMSS16 exhibition floor to explore leading technology suppliers and their solutions.

Additionally, Avnet offers a week-long HealthPath University Internship, which is held on-site at HonorHealth hospitals in Arizona. This specialized program takes participants into a hospital to provide a true "on-the-job" educational experience. The curriculum provides participants with a better understanding of the daily challenges facing healthcare providers and their patients.

Avnet’s HealthPath and HealthPath University Internship are based on Avnet's SolutionsPath^® methodology and are a part of its HealthPath^® practice, which helps Avnet's healthcare partner ecosystem hone its industry knowledge.
