Question

Please help! Anyone knows any institution that offer a medical records technician courses in Charlotte,NC

Answer 1

There a few vocational schools in Charotte, there is a Brookstone College of Business and an ECPI. Neither offer medical records tech., but they do offer medical office technology and medical assisting. I'll warn you, I looked into ECPI in Charlotte for LPN and it was $25,000 for one year! Look at the community colleges.

Answer 2

Medical records technicians usually have an associate's degree from a community college.  For accredited programs:  http://www.ahima.org

For general career info:  http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'medical records and health information technicians' or such.  Just fyi, the fields of medical assistant and medical billing and coding aren't supposed to have too many jobs despite what those private $$ schools proclaim :)  My cousin just got laid off from her medical billing job of five years.

Please steer clear of those private $$ schools.  Please also forgo the online, for-profit schools such as penn foster, stratford career, capella, university of phoenix, kaplan and others:  http://www.capellauniversitysucks.us

http://www.ripoffreport.com can type into search.
