I did Cancer Registry - Sm

Posted: Jan 5th, 2023 - 10:16 am In Reply to: Cancer registry vs medical coder vs HIM etc - Kaseyrenae

I had a bachelors in history
30 years MT
got a really good break - job in a registry
Took 2 courses, A & P
Passed CTR ... a little under 2 years
Good promotion

Jobs are plentiful.

Pretty easy to attain 60K ($30/ hr) with outsource. There ARE drawbacks to outsource. Like MT, if you are good, you will make $$$ and have job offers.

I have no comparison to coding.

I did not take a CTR program.
