"We feel well-positioned to play a central role in the expansion of the health information technology industry given our track records of success with small to medium sized primary care and specialty practices," said Dr. Michael Stearns, President and CEO of e-MDs. "In response to the dramatic increase in demand for our products and services, we have been expanding our internal workforce and refining a certification program for implementation partners."

"We are working with tertiary educational institutions to develop curriculum that will build an educated HIT workforce.
