Have never heard of it? Is it online? Check out what is being said about career steps and the other schools mentioned on this forum first, but have never seen medworkshops mentioned, so beware of what you are getting. Do they use the SUM program, see other posts about that too before you consider. Also remember that this profession is not as lucrative as it used to be, and you may want to check out posts about that too before you commit. Been doing this 36+ years and it definitely is not a career to get into at this point.

We're each different. What seems like an awful job to one may be exactly what someone else is looking for. Also, needs change through the years. There were years when the most important thing to me was to be able to use excellent skills to work from home. At other times in my life working from home was not important, so my description of an ideal job for me changed and is still constantly changing. It isn't a one-size-fits-all career, for sure! Not one of us is in a position of judging for you what is right for you at this particular time/situation in your own life.
I agree with the above poster about making sure the school uses the SUM program and is on the ACCP approved list (AHDI/AHIMA).

Coding School???? Nov 04, 2010Hi, I am looking into taking courses through a local community college for coding and wanted to know if this would be adequate enough to find a job once I have finished.

I just don't want to spend money on a school/program that won't do me any good once I finish. I already feel I did this with my medical transcription course and don't want to waste any more money. ...
