Just took a job as an MIS Manager at a County Medical Group. The CEO/Administrator is kind off stuck in the old school type terminology, and advertised the position as MIS. Is this still used out there, I havent heard of it in a while and am thinking of just changing to IS.

I wouldn't worry about what they call the position. I've seen Manager of Information Systems still in use in a lot of places.

Congragulations on your new assignment.

BFilmFan is right in that it is still in use out there.
I had that title in my last position which only ended a little over 2 years ago. I liked it because it looked good on resumes with the added "Manager". And if ever asked about manager experience, I simply said "I managed computers not people". (I should add that no one ever asked me that in an interview...only after I was in the job)
