MORE EXCELLENT RESOURCES!!

Hi everyone, if you are in an 8 week course this term you are past mid-term - what a great feeling!  I hope Term I is going well.  Remember, if you are not registered for Term 2, now would be the perfect time to do that.  Connect with me or Frank and we will get you headed in the right direction!

In the mean time, it is all about learning!  Here are more excellent resources for you:

This is a FREE webinar on the basics of ICD-9-CM.  You will be learning ICD-10 coding here at Charter Oak so it would be interesting and valuable to take a peak at ICD-9 since it is the system being used at the present time.  If everything goes as planned, our country will be transitioning to ICD-10 on October 1st of this year.

Another great resource, and one you may be able to use for papers you are writing in certain classes, is a handbook called Healthcare: Millions of Jobs Now and in the Future.  Take a look and save it on your computer for later use!
