MedCertify Launches Self-Paced Courses in Medical Coding and Transcription

Provo, Utah, April 11, 2005 MedCertify announces the launch of two major course tracks to meet growing demand. Medical coding and medical transcription job growth are increasing at an incredible rate. According to the Department of Labor Statistics, Medical records technician is currently considered the fastest growing occupation in the United States. The outlook is steady and ever increasing to the point that there are large shortages of qualified and certified personnel to fill such positions. Health Information Management (HIM) professionals enjoy a broad selection of job opportunities and options for professional growth.

MedCertify courses are designed to train students at their own pace and prepare them for certification. Certification in the medical industry forms the basis of recognition and provides evidence of expertise. Both the American Health Information Management Association and the American Association of Professional Coders provide certification examinations.

To succeed and advance in their careers, HIM professionals require a good general knowledge of the medical field as well as strong office skills. In addition to core competency courses in medical coding and medical transcription, MedCertify course tracks include courses in Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Medical Terminology, Writing for the Business Professional, Organizational Communication, and Microsoft Office 2003. Course tracks also include all the necessary texts and reference materials students will need to begin a career as a medical coder or medical transcriptionist.
