I am a student about 7 weeks away from taking my cpc certification test. I work parttime at a medical office running the front desk.
I also have an internship at a local hosp. where I am learning in patient coding and eventually billing. I am considering leaving my job to pursue more coding experience at the hospital. I think this will help me gain a position in coding, given time.
I am also a wife and mother and think this will be the best course in the long run.
My family thinks I am nuts to give up the paying job and say experience is experience.
I do not agree.
Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated!
