Hello all,
I currently work as a project coordinator at a community hospital in NJ. I recently finished my Master's in Public Health in Health Care Management. My goal is to have a career in management/administration and am looking for ways to gain more knowledge and experience to help me in this endeavor. One of my projects includes essentially acting as a practice coordinator for one of our captive physician practices. I have minimal experience with coding and billing. I am considering taking the CPPM course in order to strengthen my knowledge with practice management to hopefully gain some more experience here. However, I am thinking I should also expand my job search to include that of a practice manager as I feel that I am qualified for most of the job postings I have seen. What do you think? Will the CPPM certification be helpful or is there something different I can do that would be more instrumental in preparation for meeting my goal? Thanks!
Ashley
