The biggest EMR company was Epic and uses Mumps [0]. However, they are losing share to Center and others [1], so this formula will only work for a little while longer.

You get at the door of companies in the healthcare space that need to get up to their game and tell them what you can do for them. That's what I did.

I was recruited right out of college to work at Cerner. Its probably still fairly trivial to get a job there, but you have to live in Kansas City.
