Whether you're working in medical coding, billing, administration, nursing, or as a medical assistant, this course provides a strong foundation in the language of healthcare — with a focus on practical usage, not academic theory.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, interactive exercises, and realistic examples from EHRs, clinical notes, and billing documentation to help reinforce learning. No prior medical knowledge is needed.
