What is the maximum number of total hours an AIT must complete during their program?

The Indiana Health Facility Administrators (HFA) regulations dictate that an Administrator in Training (AIT) must complete a maximum of 1,040 hours during their training program. This requirement is designed to ensure that AITs gain sufficient practical experience and knowledge necessary to manage a health facility effectively. The 1,040 hours provide a comprehensive framework for training that is reflective of the diverse responsibilities and challenges encountered in healthcare administration.

Completing this specific number of hours reinforces the importance of hands-on experience in various aspects of facility management, including regulatory compliance, financial oversight, human resources, and patient care management. The structured time commitment promotes a thorough understanding of managerial skills and the operational intricacies within health facilities, preparing the AIT for licensure and effective future practice.
