tips for success in medical coding "A"

Medical coders do have a lot of information to learn. Here are the top tips from our contributors on how to be successful in your studies:

1. Enhance your learning with flashcards, online quizzes and other supplemental educational materials. Practice and deep understanding is essential to the job.
2. Make sure you actually grasp what you are learning. The minimum won’t be enough to pass the certification exam.
3. YouTube videos can be very helpful in furthering your understanding of a medical concept. The exercise at the end of the textbook readings will also boost your learning.
4. When you are sure that you understand it, read it one more time.
5. Study and review daily. This will help you translate information from your short term memory to the long term.
6. Start your studies by reading the guidelines at the front of the book, use that information to prompt your learning.

Can medical coding be fun?

Medical coding is “like a puzzle and solving a mystery all in one,” says Donna Nugteren, director of revenue cycle for Avera Medical Group Clinic. Once you’ve learned all of the possible solutions, you get to assign the right one to the mystery at hand.

It’s also interesting to learn about all of the unusual reasons people seek medical care, says Brooks. And of course there’s the occasional awkward misspelling or unfortunate word placement that can seem like something off of Jay Leno’s Headlines. For example, “the lab test indicated abnormal lover function.”

What are the most challenging aspects of medical coding?

Human anatomy has a lot of grey areas but medical coding is black and white. The challenge comes in transforming cloudy and complex medical symptoms into clear, discernible codes.

For example, ICD-10 students must understand the symptoms that are integral to a disease, explains Reitmeyer. The doctor will pass along case information with notations about the symptoms and coders are responsible for pulling out the important parts to document.

Attention to detail is critical, says current Rasmussen College student, Teresa Martini. You have to re-check your work against the alphabetical coding list which can be time consuming and tedious, but ultimately helps to eliminate errors.

It is also challenging to keep up with industry changes. Existing medical codes are updated, changed or discarded every year.

And the most important part for learning medical coding is applying the guidelines set by the industry regulators, says Judy Wilson, AAPC ICD-10 Training Expert & business administrator for Anesthesia Specialists in Virginia.

It is critical for professionals working in the field to stay on top of these changes to avoid documenting inaccurate information.

Why do candidates get so nervous during job interviews?? "A"

Why do you get so nervous during job interviews?

• It’s scary and uncomfortable being judged.
• It’s scary and uncomfortable being the focus and having to come up with good answers for whatever they ask you.
• You don’t know what they’re going to ask.
• You don’t know for sure if what you say is a good answer.
• You don’t like talking about yourself.
• You don’t feel comfortable “selling” yourself.
• You don’t interview every day and so you aren’t sure you know how to do it well.
• You really need a job.
• You worry that if you don’t get this job there may not be another chance any time soon.
• You worry that you’ll sound stupid.
• You worry there’s something about you or your background they’ll hate.
• You have no idea exactly what they’re looking for.
• You hate the idea of being rejected based on just one short meeting.
• You think you have to be more than you are.

Getting past interview fear and calming your nerves!

Luckily there are ways to help you get enough past the fear to still give a great interview despite your nerves. Actors for instance use those nerves to motivate a more energized and exciting performance. No reasons you can’t do that too!

First and foremost, it helps to demystify that which we can’t control. So make sure to give yourself get a better understanding of the hiring process in general – including what goes on behind the scenes. Add to that stronger interview skills, a belief in yourself and your abilities, and a clear picture of how you match what the employer is looking for and you have a winning combo!

Top 10 Clinical Research Associate Questions & Answers "A"

Top 10 clinical research associate interview questions and answers

1. 1. Why do you want this clinical research associate job? Again, companies want to hire people who are passionate about the job, so you should have a great answer about why you want the position. (And if you don't? You probably should apply elsewhere.) First, identify a couple of key factors that make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I love customer support because I love the constant human interaction and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone solve a problem"), then share why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve always been passionate about education, and I think you guys are doing great things, so I want to be a part of it”). 
2. 
   
3. 2. What have you learned from mistakes on the clinical research associate job? Candidates without specific examples often do not seem credible. However, the example shared should be fairly inconsequential, unintentional, and a learned lesson should be gleaned from it. Moving ahead without group assistance while assigned to a group project meant to be collaborative is a good example.
4. 
   
5. 3. What challenges are you looking for in this clinical research associate position? A typical interview question to determine what you are looking for your in next job, and whether you would be a good fit for the position being hired for, is "What challenges are you looking for in a position?" The best way to answer questions about the challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you would like to be able to effectively utilize your skills and experience if you were hired for the job. You can also mention that you are motivated by challenges, have the ability to effectively meet challenges, and have the flexibility and skills necessary to handle a challenging job. You can continue by describing specific examples of challenges you have met and goals you have achieved in the past. 
6. 
   
7.  4. Describe a typical work week for clinical research associate position? Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions. It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk about non-work related activities that you do on company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how they are often late because they have to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to work at the gym. Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.") and efficient. 
8. 
   
9. 5. What is your biggest weakness? No one likes to answer this question because it requires a very delicate balance. You simply can’t lie and say you don’t have one; you can’t trick the interviewer by offering up a personal weakness that is really a strength (“Sometimes, I work too much and don’t maintain a work-life balance.”); and you shouldn’t be so honest that you throw yourself under the bus (“I’m not a morning person so I’m working on getting to the office on time.”) Think of a small flaw like “I sometimes get sidetracked by small details”, “I am occasionally not as patient as I should be with subordinates or co-workers who do not understand my ideas”, or “I am still somewhat nervous and uncomfortable with my public-speaking skills and would like to give more presentations and talk in front of others or in meetings.” Add that you are aware of the problem and you are doing your best to correct it by taking a course of action.
10. 
    
11. 6. Why should the we hire you as clinical research associate position? This is the part where you link your skills, experience, education and your personality to the job itself. This is why you need to be utterly familiar with the job description as well as the company culture. Remember though, it’s best to back them up with actual examples of say, how you are a good team player. It is possible that you may not have as much skills, experience or qualifications as the other candidates. What then, will set you apart from the rest? Energy and passion might. People are attracted to someone who is charismatic, who show immense amount of energy when they talk, and who love what it is that they do. As you explain your compatibility with the job and company, be sure to portray yourself as that motivated, confident and energetic person, ever- ready to commit to the cause of the company. 
12. 
    
13. 7. What do you know about our company? Follow these three easy research tips before your next job interview: 1) Visit the company website; look in the “about us” section and “careers” sections 2) Visit the company’s LinkedIn page (note, you must have a LinkedIn account — its free to sign up) to view information about the company 3) Google a keyword search phrase like “press releases” followed by the company name; you’ll find the most recent news stories shared by the company Remember, just because you have done your “homework”, it does not mean you need to share ALL of it during the interview! Reciting every fact you’ve learned is almost as much of a turn off as not knowing anything at all! At a minimum, you should include the following in your answer: 1. What type of product or service the company sells 2. How long the company has been in business 3. What the company culture is like OR what the company mission statement is, and how the culture and/or mission relate to your values or personality 
14. 
    
15. 8. Why do you want to work with us? More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see how much you know about the company culture, and whether you can identify with the organization’s values and vision. Every organization has its strong points, and these are the ones that you should highlight in your answer. For example, if the company emphasizes on integrity with customers, then you mention that you would like to be in such a team because you yourself believe in integrity. It doesn’t have to be a lie. In the case that your values are not in line with the ones by the company, ask yourself if you would be happy working there. If you have no issue with that, go ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture and realize that there is some dilemma you might be facing, you ought to think twice. The best policy is to be honest with yourself, and be honest with the interviewer with what is it in the company culture that motivates you. 
16. 
    
17. 9. Did the salary we offer attract you to this clinical research associate job? The interviewer could be asking you this question for a number of reasons. Obviously, the salary is an important factor to your interest in this job, but it should not be the overriding reason for your interest. A good answer to this question is, “The salary was very attractive, but the job itself is what was most attractive to me.
18. 
    
19. 10. Do you have any questions to ask us? Never ask Salary, perks, leave, place of posting, etc. regarded questions. Try to ask more about the company to show how early you can make a contribution to your organization like “Sir, with your kind permission I would like to know more about induction and developmental programs?” OR Sir, I would like to have my feedback, so that I can analyze and improve my strengths and rectify my shortcomings.

What is the most exciting clinical trial going on right now? "A"

Science (especially medicine) often doesn't accept that something actually works until after a clinical trial is complete, but we often understand how the science works before the trial is even defined. What clinical trials going on right now do you think could have the most earthshaking results?

Using HIV to cure cancer.

The actual trials are http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/sh... and http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/sh..., a collaboration between UPenn and Novartis using genetically engineered T-cells to treat cancer (specifically CML and CLL, although ALL is also being tested).

A similar trial is also going on at Baylor University: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/sh.... From a quick search on ClincialTrials.org, it seems like they have begun other trials throughout the US

Much has already been written about these clinical trial especially by the NYTimes. A good read for the layman. 

• A Breakthrough Against Leukemia Using Altered T-Cells
• Novartis and Penn Unite On Anticancer Approach
• Immune System, Loaded With Remade T-cells, Vanquishes Cancer

It's as crazy as it sounds, surprisingly, it is not a terrible idea. To paraphrase, T-cells that are harvested from a patient are genetically modified using a modified form of HIV which alters the T-cell to attack specific receptors that are expressed on certain cancers. I go deeper into the underlying science in:

• Is the new Penn-Novartis treatment a potential cure for all cancers?
• How is HIV used for cellular immunotheraphy?

This is particularly exciting to me since it represents a new way of treating disease similar to the advent of therapeutic antibodies and nanoparticles. Cellular immunotherapy represents a more promising advance over other "next-gen" therapeutics like RNAi, conventional gene-therapy, and stem-cells.

However, there are several limits and giant hurdles to seeing this as an approved therapy.

• Off target effects are usually lethal. Already one colon cancer patient has been killed due to an "on-target, off-organ" effect where the T-cells were successful in attacking the colon cancer but also attacked her lungs. Molecular Therapy - Safer CARS
• On target effects have resulted in Cytokine storm due to an acute immune system response. These fevers and chills make the first week of treatment extremely dangerous for the patient and the risk-benefit ratio compared to the current standard of care is unknown.
• The reasonable and scientific fear of using HIV as a viral vector. Not because of the use of HIV since that's a fairly "mild" condition compared to stage IV cancer but due to the fear of oncogene instability which stalled gene-therapy research. In layman's terms, there is a chance that curing cancer might accidentally give the patient another type of cancer.
• The lack of precedence of approving a patient specific therapy. While cellular immunotherapy has been approved via Provenge, the FDA has relatively little experience with approving a trial that require developing an entire manufacturing process for a single patient.
• A bizarre number of registered trials using a similar strategy at the Chinese PLA General Hospital. It would be interesting to see how well designed those trials are since a poor result in China could significantly impact the trial design in the US. A similar incident in France also stalled Gene therapy research.

Despite all of these very real concerns, these are the trials that I have been paying the most attention to since their results may make or break the biopharma industry.
