Looking for a bit of advice and insight.
Hi all.
I’m interested in entering the clinical coder field but I am a bit stumped on how to start my journey. I have some medical knowledge primarily as my background is in Early Education with a specialisation in Inclusion support.
I have always had an interest in biology so have an understanding of biology beyond the average person.
I was wondering if the best way to go about getting into this field was to do a health administration course and then the clinical coding diploma or would just doing the diploma prepare me enough.
I do have archival and admin experience as it was heavily apart of my job but I do not know if this is helpful as I have struggled to find more information about clinical coding in Australia this has made it hard on how to approach this.
Any advice at all on how to get on track or what I should consider would be immensely helpful.
Thank you!
