I had a year of intense study while working full-time and passed my Certied Professional Coder exam on my rst try. I love my profession as a coder. Every day I learn something new and it is certainly never boring. I look forward to using those skills which include interaction with busy surgeons and other allied professionals. This has taught me to always be prepared and have my questions formulated in a concise intelligent manner which shows that I am respectful of their time.
