up with employers.

Find Jobs
Members can utilize the AAPC jobs database to
quickly search thousands of available health care positions using search criteria
like a job title, required skills, medical specialty, or other keywords. Search
by distance from a zip code or search nationwide. The tool pulls open positions
from across the internet for a complete picture of the job market. |
 |
Network at a Local, Regional, or National Level
One of the best ways to find a new job is networking – talking to other
health care professionals and letting them know your specific skill-set and what
you’re looking for in case they know of any open positions. AAPC membership
offers face-to-face networking opportunities at local
chapter meetings, workshops, and conferences,
and online in our member forums. |

Get Experience
AAPC offers externship placement through our Project
Xtern. The goal of the program is to help newly certified medical coders
qualify for a medical coding job by gaining valuable work experience. Project
Xtern is an ideal way to get your first taste of real-world knowledge and
experience in the medical coding field and gives potential employers an opportunity
to see you in action. It builds confidence and improves your research and
analytical skills. |
