Career Choices for MTs - 30yearMT

Sure. Basically we comb through the EMR to find cancer information and treatment. Then we code it the way our reference books tell us to. We're naturals at this because we already know our way around a medical record and we understand the process of cancer and its treatment. There are a number of videos on Youtube about registrars and also a FB page from the NCRA.
