Need advice (new in this field)

[DiToni]

Hello everyone:

I have been in the IT field for more than 15 years but I have never worked with medical applications, and knowing that I will be laying off from my job within 2 months (May/2009) I decided to pursue a career in the medical field….

Most of my jobs have been supporting applications (Financial applications and Billing systems) and I worked as a Business Analyst, System Analyst, Operations Analyst and Database Administrator using the AS/400, Oracle and Windows platforms

I know is hard nowadays to find another job but I made up my mind in pursuing my goal to work within the MEDICAL FIELD.

I really need to find out from you what can I do in order to learn “Cerner, Meditech or Mckesson Applicationsâ€. Is there any books on the market that I should buy? or any courses that I need to take?

Please I just need your advice

I don't think any books or courses is the way to go. I would suggest approaching the computer companies that market Lab Information Systems. (Cerner, McKesson, Mediware, etc.)
