He could work at a hospital network or possibly a drug company network.
-
Hospital IT Departments. He may have to volunteer for some time though. The Hospitals around here (Ontario) tend to use that method to recruit staff. They rarely advertise for new positions unless there is an urgent need of a specific talent and even then, they tend to contract the work initially.
-
I just read an article about IT in INC. IT departments are shrinking because technology is getting more user friendly, and a growing number of people have computer knowledge. This enables companies to use employees in more of a "crossover" capacity and makes IT departments less important. If I were in your husband's position, I would focus a job search more on the "health and wellness" part with secondary emphasis on his IT skills. Most health service organizations are tightly budgeted. His background should make him an ideal canidate for an administrative position in a hospital, nursing home, rehabilitation center and the like, because his potential usefulness would span departments. He would also be more likely to find open positions in these other areas.
-
It is unlimited what he can do. Be very proud of him.
-
He might look into designing software for medical offices. They need office management software to run the offices more efficiently, and programs that can also integrate billing and electronic charts are in high demand.
