    Glad it worked out for you. At this point in your life and career, the sky is the limit. You can pick and choose the direction you want to go. I am an old retired lady. I was a medical software trainer. Went all over the country training doctors and staff. I also taught courses. In my 60s I was fired from a 6 figure position in a hospital. I was too young for social security. I had grounds to sue, but didn't persue. It caused my finances and health to take a severe downturn. Now on social security, I need to supplement my income. I am looking to getting my certification (CPC) and a 100% remote job. I am now disabled, not able to join the workforce. Thanks for the encouraging videos. Best of luck in all your endeavors.

    Im glad you're sticking around in RA! Im proud of you. I love your ambition. You are so intelligent and encouraging. I really like RA coding. Im in a new role. This is only the 2nd company i worked for, and let me tell you, I jumped so much in one friggn year with regard to salary. Im still learning and growing, and i hope to start working on entering into the CDI side of things.

    Ms. Laquuta, I honestly was concerned for you trying to break into tech in this job market. Tech is not being kind to people at the moment, with layoffs and such.

      There are various online platforms offering medical coding courses that have gained positive recognition.

Some individuals also utilize community college programs. I can't personally endorse any courses. I didn't take a course. I learned my knowledge on the job.
