Penn Foster Medical Coding Student

✨ Pros: Self paced

I really love the self paced aspect. I’ve been utilizing YouTube,tik tok and other sources for my book prep. I don’t mind studying alone, with little help. I would enjoy if others are in school for medical coding and would like to start a study group!
