In order to look at the externships that are available through the AAPC, you need to have your credential. Then there has to be externships available in your area. I live in an area sadly that doesn't have any of these positions available. You might have better luck making your own internship via networking.

Your best bet is to get your foot in the door at a medical office or hospital system doing something other than coding and make moves to work your way into coding. Most places unfortunately don't like taking on new coders with no experience..
