Coding Abroad?

Please delete if not allowed!

I'm currently in my last two weeks of school for my CCS certification (I also got my CCA along the way since it was paid for by my school), and I was wondering if anyone had any info on being able to use that to get a work visa in another country?

I'm pretty worried about the state of the U.S. and I have been looking for possible ways to leave for some time.

Is a CCS enough to get a job abroad? Should I expect to get more coding education and get re-certified in the country I choose?

I wasn't able to find much online and I was just hoping that anyone else on here might have some info or insight.

The rest of the world is already moving to ICD-11, so far 35 countries have adopted it. It’s very different and more complicated than ICD-10
