CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician (HIT-001)

I have about fifteen years in IT. My notable certs are listed under my name here on the forum.
Anyway, I had a voucher for this that I haven't used and with the exam being retired in Feb. I figured I'd go ahead and get my "lifetime" cert (also, it still counts for CEUs!).
My "prep" was reading a PDF of the CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician HIT-001 Authorized Cert Guide by Joy Dark and Jean Andrews. I scheduled the test with a Pearson Vue testing center based at a college. I got there about two hours early and read through the 427 page book, skipping over the IT chapters and focusing just on the medical stuff.
I want to say my exam was about 75 questions. All were multiple choice. The material was the most basic fundamental knowledge covered on the A+/N+/S+ (and when I say basic I do mean basic) + healthcare acronyms in which you need to know regulations along with organizations and their purpose.
Anyway, I can understand why it never really caught on. Glad I didn't spend personal funds. 723 with YOLO prep.

I passed my A+ and N+ earlier this year (and I work in healthcare IT) so I'm hoping for a relatively easy pass.

I used this CBTNuggets course to prepare. I skipped the IT Operations sections.

Not a career-changer, but a nice little easy to attain certification that doesn't require renewal.
