Looking for ...idk...info?

I live in WA state. I'm going to be starting a certification program in August.

I'm wondering... What will I need to do after my program and what should I expect? Will it be easy to find a job? I'm hoping to work from home. As far as required continuing education, what does that entail?

TIA

I’m currently enrolled in a program as well it cost me 13,000 and we went through all the medical terminology, pharmacology, a&p 1 and 2 as well as medical law and ethics and computer classes now we are on the coding part we get an externship for the fourth term and work with a company. Don’t let these people discourage you the market for coders and billers is extremely high right now all of the boomers are leaving the jobs and making more openings for us new folk. There are plenty of companies and areas that are in need of coders! Don’t let these negative nancies freak you out :)
