Read what past leaners have to say about the course:

"I think this was a great course for all registrars. I cannot express how fortunate we are to have had such great instructors. This felt like an open and honest forum for registrars of all knowledge and years of service to truly bounce off questions and answers.”

"I was able to learn some information I needed to implement to my everyday work, understood how to use the ICD-10-CM and the ICD-10-PCS, and the difference between both codebooks."

"I have a better understanding of hospital events and how to follow the NTDB Data Dictionary and appropriately abstract the record. I have learned how to utilize the trauma registry to pull meaningful data for my trauma center."

"I learned some of the basic and important parts of data abstraction from the patient charts exercises we did. This helped me practice abstracting the correct diagnosis and times."
