Networking

Some of your best resources as a student and a recent graduate are other professionals in your chosen field. Connect to other informaticists and business people and create a network that could help launch your career.

Some good tools to start with are:

LinkedIn

Facebook for professionals! Create a profile to show off your education, experience and skills. LinkedIn can help you connect to and keep in touch with other professionals.

Twitter

Stay informed about what's new in informatics. Follow users like ehrandhit, mhealthwatch,  and HITECHAnswers as they post links to the latest in health informatics. Start by following Case's Nursing Informatics program director, Dr. Christine Hudak, on her twitter: informatics1
