Is it okay to take medical coding specialist training course through a u.s. career institute?
Iam interested in taking a training course in medical coding offered through u.s. career institute home training. I do not really know if i would be able to get a job after I graduate or do I have to stall and get more experience and then find a job.

- Take the course! But you will want to get certified as a coder afterwards. You'll probably want to start by becoming a CCA (Certified Coding Associate). You should be able to take that test after taking the training course. Then after a year or two on the job with some practical experience you can get a CCS or CCS-P certification. That will make you a professional in the industry. There are also other certifications to be had through AHIMA. Good Luck!
