Clinical Coding Questions.

Hi all I’m looking to go into a career in clinical coding as a 20f living in Brisbane. I have pretty limited medical knowledge but I am very keen to go into clinical coding.

I’m just wondering if anyone knows if it’s better to do the diploma of clinical coding form HIMAA or doing the bachelor of health information management?

Also wondering if it’s hard to get employment after completing the course. I know it’s an understaffed industry but would I need to do a traineeship. Or just want would you recommend.

And lastly just want to know how people find the job. Do you like it in general? Are the people good? How are the hours? What has your experience been like? Do you recommend the profession or a different field?

Any answers would be extremely helpful for me. So thank you for reading this and if you decide to reply.

Also P.S sorry for any formatting typing on my phone.
