I'm liking this not because you failed, but because you had the courage to tell everyone you failed. I would love to see the NAPLEX pass rate for practicing pharmacists if they had to take it again, that would be a fun number, even "funner" would be an MPJE pass rate of practicing pharmacists in their own state!

Very well said ‘Hard work beats Talent’. Its crazy!! Same thing happen to me I was super confident going into exam I thought I knocked it ‘out of da park’ and I failed my Cogito COG170, this was my first Epic certification and now I’m down and little intimidated., my first language aint English(does it played a role, i dont think know), I found the questions very tricky. I wanted to see if there is any content on free web about these certification and stumbled on to your videos. 100% I’m impressed, If you can help me running through prep process that will be great. Thanks man
@briankfung 3 жыл бұрын
Questions are definitely tricky! My typical prep process is to 1) review the stop signs/exclamation marks in each chapter, 2) review the study materials on galaxy on what content is covered and make sure I read over it, 3) Do the project prior to the exam, 4) have an epic session open during the exam along with all the training companions so I can quickly reference/lookup things I forgot. Good luck on your retake!

@briankfung Жыл бұрын
I’ve always been of the opinion that those who have practice experience make the best candidates for informatics roles since you’re building the tools for clinicians! As for the test, it’s not a walk in the park for what I hear (I’ve never taken it) and it’s full of logic-based questions. There should be some info floating around on the net if you haven’t looked already, but much of it is quite secretive. Epic exams are usually very configuration based where you have to understand how downstream things get impacted when you tweak various settings upstream. Best of luck! I hope take the position if offered.

Thank you for making this video. It's quite much help to have a chance to know what a real-life it is for people like me who is planning to study health informatics in the US. However, I have heard from my friends that health informatics companies like Epic System in the US do not hire international graduates who don't have green cards. May I confirm the correctness of this info which is scarce online? If it's true, may I have your recommendations about career development for international studensts with major in health informatics and who like to work and live in the US? Thanks for reading this message.
@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын
These are great questions and I'll do my best to take a stab at them. As to whether Epic systems hiring international graduates or not, I'm not entirely sure. Though, I think sending them an email to ask them directly may be the best course of action. As to your second question about developing health informatics education internationally, I would think most majors in either college or graduate school would have formal, didactic education in health informatics. Alternatively, one of the most economical courses of action for formal training are the MOOC's like Coursera, EdX, or Udemy since they provide informatics courses for free or a fraction of what traditional brick and mortar universities cost. Hope that helps!

Hi Brian, My hospital will be switching to EPIC from Cerner. I have two questions: 1) Is there a part in EPIC that uses MUMPS language to do programming for hospital developers. For example, we as EPIC end users to use MUMPS retrieve patient records and do some tasks. With Cerner I am using Arden Syntax language to program electronic workflow/rule's engine codes, which is something like office automation. 2) If EPIC has such a part, what the exam of Certification will be? Thank you in advance!
@briankfung 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Xiao! Great questions. For 1) Epic is based on MUMPS code, but the vast majority of individual analysts will not be using that as there is a much simpler user interface for configuring things in Epic. The training curriculums for each Epic module will walk you through the applicable areas. 2) For those most interested in mumps programming will usually go down the route of chronicles database programmers. That's the basic level, but you can continue to a research informatics developer that dives deep into the code. I only did the first level of chronicles database programmer. Good luck!

Sounds like a great opportunity to me! Epic certifications are worth their weight in gold since access to them are extremely limited. If you get hired, it sounds like they will sponsor you. However, I'm not sure if you'd be the one to incur the costs of that certification since you have to sign an Epic repayment agreement - I actually have never heard of that. Probably something you should ask the employer about though to see what that is.

Hey man. Quick question for you. I have the ability to leave my Lab Tech job and become certified in Epic, most likely in Epic Beaker. Would you recommend it? How lucrative are the jobs? I’d be working in the same healthcare system for now and am curious if this would be a step forward in my career.
@briankfung 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Marco! This is an excellent question, yet also quite challenging to answer. I'd probably say that I'm a bit biased towards Epic solutions and I personally think having an Epic certification and/or experience working with Epic on the analyst side of things can make anyone quite marketable. So from that perspective, yes, I'd recommend it. However, whether you enjoy doing that type of work is another story that I can't answer. As for lucrative jobs - it can be. However, that's also dependent on the type of certification you have, your experience and skillset, along with geographical location among other things. The most lucrative type roles are usually in consulting with Epic. Granted, demand isn't as high as it used to be so the pay may be a bit lower than before. I hope that gives you some more points to consider. Good luck!

Unless of course, the Epic certification is a very technical one like chronicles database or clarity report writer.

@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын
This is a great question, but kind of depends on which test. Three comments here. 1) Sphinx test - this is something that employers usually require candidates to take if they're applying to an Epic position. This is usually a logic based test and not. related to Epic content directly, but assesses your ability to solve problems. I've never taken it, but there's a lot of content online that share individuals experiences with it. 2) Epic certification tests usually require recertification every 3 years as a Continuing Education (CEE). If you fail it, you lose your certification and have to go through the whole certification process again. 3) There used to be a general guideline in that if you fail a test 3 times, you'll be required to retake the entire course again/go back to Epic to retake the entire course. If you fail 5 times, you're banned for life. With that said, I've heard some this is a only a guideline and each institution may handle it differently.

From previous videos, I believe you have a few options: -Work at Epic -Work at an institution (e.g. hospital) that has a contract with Epic -Work in a role adjacent to an institution that has a contract with Epic, such as working in consulting. Your position must have the need to learn Epic

I don't know all of the consulting firms that work on Epic and some have left the marketplace (e.g. Accenture). The most common one I'm familiar with is Deloitte. With that said, there are many small, private consulting groups (you'll have to search) that hire individuals interested, get them Epic certified, and deploy them to various organizations that need Epic expertise.

Would I be able to be an EPIC analyst without a college degree? My hospital wants to sponser me. I am a RN, but I became one many years without going to college. I did this program that for 2 days I had an instructor telling me to do nursing procedures. I am sure my employer assumes I have at least an AA degree. Any information would be appreciated.
@briankfung 3 жыл бұрын
Technically yes. An epic analyst is a very broad term. The question will primarily be what qualifications beyond Epic certifications would your potential employer be looking for - which may be a college degree. Granted, I know a few folks who were sponsored for epic certs and didn’t have their bachelors. Good luckb

It's probably reflective of ppl that went to college and those that didn't - both groups can likely end up as an Epic analyst, with or without a college degree. Good luck!

I am confused. How could you become a nurse without going to college?

@@britneythao You can go to nursing school and obtain a diploma in nursing. It also allows you to take the NCLEX (the test to become a registered nurse) Having a diploma allows you to "bridge" to getting a Bachelors degree in nursing.

Statistically speaking, the exam with the highest failure rate is Willow inpatient at 60%. Which means more people pass than fail the most difficult exam administered by Epic. Thus, I’d think the majority of people pass rather than fail.

I took the test and did the profile thing this ost week but like no way they are gonna hire me anway. I suck at tests, plus ive already been rejected by 500 other jobs i dont know why Epic is interested in me. I think their recruiters have like Quotas and stuff they need to meet

I think most people who are looking up epic certs on YT isnt the type to play videogames until 5am and take the test 4 hours later, this "lesson" doesnt apply to the vast majority of people and this video is a waste of time. Its basically you flexing how many certs you have then saying "har har I failed a test because i played videogames all night." I also heavily disagree with the qoute "hardwork beats talent" id rather pay a talented guy who can finish designing a logo for my company within an hour rather than a hardworker who designs the same quality logo within a week at the same price.
