The U.S. Government predicts a growth in the demand for medical coders of 49% during the 2000-2010 time period. EKU’s Medical Coding Certificate Program provides students with the necessary skills and core concepts to allow you to seek entry-level coding positions in health care facilities, including physician offices, outpatient facilities, hospitals, nursing facilities, home health care and hospices. You may also elect to sit for the certification examinations offered by
the American Academy of Procedural Coders (AAPC – www.aapc.com) and/or the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA – www.ahima.org), once the respective organization’s examination criteria are met.  Students who are in the Administrative Certificate Program must apply for graduation in order to obtain their Certificate.
