Throughout the 1 ½ day workshop instructors model the training materialsprovided to each attendee, and encourage them to use these in training other coding professionals.
At the conclusion of both the online and face-to-face training, attendees may elect to take an examination which must be passed in order to receive an AHIMA ICD-10-CM Trainer Certificate. Certificates are subject to renewal on an annual basis effective in 2011.
