The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), in collaboration with The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT is offering free vouchers to take the Health IT Professional Exams (HIT Pro Exams). These exams assess competency in one of six Health IT workforce roles:

Why Should You Take the Exam?
Validate Competencies: Competency examinations enable Health IT professionals, employers and other stakeholders to assess their own knowledge and experience.
Staff Development: The examinations can be used by employers to enhance the Health IT skills and capabilities of personnel. Staff who become certified can be instrumental in helping your organization qualify for incentive payments for the meaningful use of electronic health records.
Organizational Credibility: These exams help organizations demonstrate to customers that their staff possess the key skills needed to meet the challenges of effectively implementing and utilizing Health IT.
