Do I need the pre-requisite training?
Training for an AAPC certification requires a foundation of knowledge in three subjects we call the Essentials — medical terminology, anatomy, and pathophysiology. If you have formal education or training in medicine or you have over 2 years’ experience working in the field, you can skip the Essentials and start your certification training. If not, you can take one long course we call Fundamentals of Medicine, which covers all three topics.
