At AHIMA, we come to work every day to help make healthcare better through the trusted use of health information – from the operating room to a smartwatch – no matter when or where it is accessed. We’re looking for a Regulatory Health Policy Associate who has a strong interest in health policy and a passion for conducting research that makes a difference in the health information profession.
What does this role do at AHIMA?
As a Regulatory Health Policy Associate, you are responsible for assisting the Director of Regulatory Affairs with their tasks, projects, and events, including the annual AHIMA Advocacy Summit. You will be asked to review and assist in commenting on federal policy and will participate in activities to deepen relationships with other healthcare stakeholders both in, and outside of, the government.
In this position, you will be responsible for conducting general and detailed policy research, including literature reviews, and tracking of news and policy developments. You will also be responsible for project managing various activities conducted by the AHIMA Policy and Government Affairs team.
Who is our ideal candidate?
You are eager to learn and can summarize and communicate federal policy developments clearly. You are highly organized, have a great attention to detail, and are able to manage competing project priorities to ensure timelines are met. You have an interest or experience in the federal rulemaking process and how the executive branch enacts laws passed by Congress. You will be able to summarize federal policy and determine what sections of government policy pertain to AHIMA members and the impact policy will have on the health IT – and healthcare – continuum as a whole.
In addition, you have:
- A bachelor’s degree preferred
- 1-3 years’ regulatory policy or advocacy experience with preference for healthcare and/or technology policy experience
- Excellent writing and editing skills
- Outstanding time management and judgement skills
- Excellent computer skills, including MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Candidates will be asked to provide a writing sample, which could include a memo, regulatory analysis, press statement, or other similar documentation.
What you’ll get from AHIMA
- Opportunities to work remotely
- A mission-driven culture
- A collaborative and open environment where everyone’s ideas are appreciated and welcomed
- Great benefits, competitive compensation, and generous time-off policy
