Employment of health information technologists and medical registrars is projected to grow 16 percent from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 3,200 openings for health information technologists and medical registrars are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
