I was just offered an externship - Wondering what other people's experiences have been and opportunity for job placement after.

Zanalee, Congrats on findng your calling (and your calling finding you!) I am looking fr an externship myself as I have no relevant work experience. I completed the Practiode program, however, which gave me the equvalent of one year's work experience, along with another course (which gave me my second equivalence of one year's work experience, and in this way I was able to have "apprentice" removed from my certification status. Still, my lack of relevant work experience has continued to be a barrier and I am thinking an externship is the way to go. Did you learn of the externship that you participated in from the AAPC website, or is there some other way to locate externships? I live in Berkeley and have to find one close to where I live. Do you know if there are other externship type programs offered by employers, whether they are insurance companies or hospitals or some other health related industry?
Thanks for your input! Karen
