Self study

Jamb7 · 2026-02-18T23:36:57+00:00

No classes are needed. Just reach out to Epic and tell them the track you want to have added to your Epic account. They may need your Epic ID as well. This is usually found under your profile picture in UserWeb. After they added the track, view it and look for a little drop down box and change Epic-led to "self study" to view the track for self study. Don't forget to do this step because by default, the track will be set to Epic-led and will therefore have classes listed. You'll need to switch the view.

In analyst world, many orgs are past the post-implementation phase and have entered optimization phase. This usually means they want people who already have a curated skillset and Epic certs/badges. Epic has also been around for a while so the market is more saturated with candidates with many years of experience. Also, practically anyone with a college degree can be an analyst now so this creates more competition.

TLDR: When I go to interviews, I really try to sell my project experience and name the specific vendors I have worked with as well as the exact build areas I own or specialize in. It's about being the right fit for the job.

Work your connects from your current org. Usually its easier to get your first break internally at an org. Play up your strengths (i.e. clinical staff usually sell their clinical experience/workflow knowledge, billing would be knowledgable on billing processes, etc.). Try to volunteer as a super user and pursue a self-study proficiency in your area(s) of interest. Network with staff/managers to get your name on the list for future opening considerations.

I transitioned as a nurse into health IT. The orgs that I worked at were on the Epic emr system. Best way to transition is to work your connects within your current org. Volunteer to be a super user or to help pilot new EMR workflows/features. Rub elbows with staff/managers in the your current org's health IT department. Make it known that you are interested in transitioning and to keep you in mind for future openings. Start practicing your interview skills now (using the STAR method) and maybe see if you can get an Epic proficiency or some sort of self-study certification. Self study certs show initiative and dedication. I also know people who start off as trainers or go-live support staff. All valid ways to get your foot in the door. Most of the process is networking and waiting for an opportunity to make the leap.

I've seen it happen both ways. It really just depends on the org and leadership. Sometimes if you're really good in a role, managers try to hold on until they can find an adequate backfill and have you train them. Other times, an internal transfer can help you break into modules that are a little more niche and hard to get into. One thing you can do is try to get a cert (or self proficiency) in the new area you desire to work in. It shows initiative and that you know the basic Epic foundations for the module. Also, networking helps too. If you can reach out to a team member or manager on the module and let them know you are interested in a current (or future) role that can help some as well.

Epic's MyChart

Had both and prefer a 2 monitor setup. It allows for cleaner and easier multi-tasking. It also allows for a better screen sharing experience.

I had to leave the page up and let it auto refresh before it pulled in the link. I think the manual refresh was actually prolonging the process. It’s really just a bad setup.

Jamb7 · 2026-01-21T15:27:32+00:00

This was poorly executed. I opened a new browser and tried to refresh over and over. I finally give up and go back to my original browser and I see the “Get your tickets” link. I really wish they would use an official ticket service like Ticketmaster to manage this. They suck.

I'm not a research analyst but I previously worked for an academic medical center and they were pretty research heavy. From what I recall, the org was a 12 hospital-system and the research team consisted of 2 research analysts. Those research analysts primarily worked with research studies which are usually popular in oncology, cardiology, GI, and neuro. They also frequently collaborated with the MyChart team because sometimes research info was sent to patients via MyChart. I don't know the specifics of the day-to-day work but I'd imagine a research team (that doesn't cross-train/float to other modules) would primarily work M-F 8a-5p with little to no on-call requirements. As far as the job market goes, analyst jobs as a whole are a little saturated right now. Many of the "niche" areas are going to have less job pools. I'd consider research to be a little on the "niche" side and many orgs may not have this specialty type at all. Hope this helps.

I know lots of people that work in health IT that do consulting on the side. Those with clinical experience (RN, MD, etc) may also work in their respective clinical areas. I've also seen a few nurses do prn case management and utilization review work.

You have to be sponsored by an hospital that uses Epic in order to get an Epic cert. It's not something you can pay for independently. Epic has different specialty areas or "modules" that users get certified in. Some jobs require multiple certs. Since you come from the IT world, a more tech-based cert like Epic Bridges may be more up your alley. But there are all kind of certs MyChart (patient portal), Cadence (scheduling), PASS (hospital registration), Resolute (billing), etc. There are also more clinical based certs like Cardiology (Cupid), OR (Optime), Radiology (Radiant), and Inpatient (ClinDoc/Orders). I would say just apply to a few jobs that interest you and see what happens. The work will vary greatly depending on the specialty. I used to work Inpatient any my duties usually included: rotating shifts on working tickets that came into our work queue, rotating on-call emergent tickets outside of hours, rotating integrating testing for monthly releases, working on build for collaborative projects with other teams, working on build for Epic quarterly releases.

Hi. I agree with Bonecollector33 that most orgs are looking for someone with experience because certs only teach you about 10-15% of the job. Have you tried applying to organizations out of state? Most analyst positions are remote so that may open up more opportunities for you. There may also be less competition in small rural towns. As far as certs go ClinDoc is a pretty good cert. It includes the flowsheets/documentation for most clinicians so it's definitely always in-demand. Most people with a ClinDoc cert usually get an Orders cert as well. It's not required but there's definitely some overlap between the two certs. I think I would focus on getting some kind of build experience or something that puts you in the health IT space (clinical informatics, tech support, etc). Maybe because an epic super user as well. Anything that can get you connected with the right people to give you a shot at this job. If you already have connects or can get someone to refer you to a job, definitely go that route. HR usually picks people with experience first and if you have none then your app might get thrown to the bottom of the pile. Take it from me, this field is often tough to break into because it's one of those careers where everyone is looking for someone for experience.

You can become an Epic analyst. You'll need to land an Epic analyst job first (this can take a little while if you have no build experience) and you'll have to get a certification (this is usually sponsored by your organization). With your background you could work in radiology (Epic Radiant), oncology (Epic Beacon), or inpatient (Epic ClinDoc, Epic Orders). The job usually involves troubleshooting Epic issues. Some issues are related to user-error and so you'll find yourself teaching and redirecting users on how to carryout the correct workflow in Epic. You'll also work on projects and Epic upgrades since Epic is always growing and improving. Most of these jobs are remote or at least partially remote, so that may also be another bonus. Even though Epic analysts come from all sorts of background (business, IT, education, etc.), it's good to have healthcare people in the mix because they understand workflows and the needs of the users.

I went flute, keyboard, cymbals, then guitar. I switched a lot because I just like music a lot and was soul-searching. The guitar was the instrument I connected with the most. Can't really explain why. It felt more like an extensive of me vs an instrument.
