I have a question for anyone who has taken the exam
Would it be possible to pass the exam with only "book smarts"?
I don't have the opportunity to acquire much hands on experience in cardiology because I am a clinic coder and we disperse the specialties evenly amongst all of our coders. I do want to specialize in cardiology, and I want to teach it to myself. My reading comprehension levels were off the charts when I applied at college, so the understanding of the material will not be an issue. I do best learning on my own from a book, and I was wondering if it would be possible to teach myself what I need to know to pass the exam. I passed my CPC exam with no actual coding experience, so with enough determination and hard work learning all I can about cardiology would this be possible? I plan on studying and learning for about a year before I attempt this.
looking for any feedback, thank you very much!!!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
