externship
Externships allow ConnCAT students to demonstrate their skills and perform tasks practiced during didactic training in real health care environments and to function as a medical biller/coder trainee. It is important to us that externship experiences are are mutually beneficial. Thus externship sites can expect professionalism and productivity from ConnCAT externs.
