Are there any EPIC credentialed trainers or other EMR trainers on this forum

frick EPIC

I'm Meditech trained from my first job at my company

EPIC >>>>>>>>>> Meditech and its not debatable from a front end perspective.


I work with a bunch of Epic folks now too, but no I'm not trained on it.

I know a few and heard different stories on what the interview process is like. Everyone who I know who interviewed for it got the position. I understand as a credentialed trainer you have to put on presentations and used as database support. I'm just confused on why this interview will take up to 4 hours.

My company just has Epic in some facilities and pays for our employees to go up to Wisconsin and get trained.

The actual Epic employees work like 60-70 hour weeks and have no lives. They sign non-compete clauses and shite. Its crazy. We have a couple at our company now that started there and they tell horror stories. The office has a "Google" vibe in terms of architecture and atmosphere at first, thats how they lure you in.


But a 4 hour interview is nothing. We have 6-8 hour interviews at my company. Several different groups of interviewers interview you to get more perspective than just one. And that's if you pass the hour long phone interview and screening process.

ETA:

However the Epic employees make great money and you can work on Epic for other companies afterwards and continue to make good money. You just sacrifice some years off your life

I've heard mixed reviews from people who are trainers some love it better than others. It's just what kind of person you are. I have one friend that will get on a 6 month contract and work anywhere from 40-70 hours a week. He will make $50/hr and the hospital he is working at will pay for his living expenses including flying him home on weekends.

The position i'm interview for is training to become credentialed. They will give me a little bit of living expense, enough to cover rent. I will be working 4 10's for 6 months with fri-sunday off/ including holidays. Like I said once I'm finished with the training I'll be credentialed and able to take on contracts across the country at better pay.

The job is not for everyone because you are constantly on the road but if you enjoy traveling and have time off between contracts it's not a bad gig.

I am a certified trainer working for a health system that's adding affiliate hospitals.

There's a difference between credentialed and certified. One does not receive certification from Epic.

So does this mean if I'm credentialed I can work on different EMR's?

I'm in private practice so I don't deal with credentialing on EHRs, you can either master it and use it efficiently or you can't.

From my experience this is how it works.

Certified trainer is sent to epic and receives certification. If your health system is large enough or you take in affiliates, the certified (principle) trainers credentials others to train as an extension of the principle trainer. What that means opportunity wise depends on the scale of your organization.

I know cerna, but have to learn epic soon for a hospital where I do consults. What's the learning curve? Pretty easy?
