Hospital-Based Medical Coding Program Re-Approved
Phoenix College’s Medical Coding: Hospital-based Program, part of the Health Information Management Programs, has been nationally re-approved for a full five-year term by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
“We believe that this is a one-of-a-kind, quality program,” said Dr. Bonnie Petterson, department chair for Health Information Management. “Approval of this program by the American Health Information Management Association, the national leader in the medical coding industry, provides evidence to our students and the community that rigorous standards focusing on strong instruction and current knowledge have been met.”
The Medical Coding – Hospital-Based Program is designed to prepare individuals for diagnostic and procedural coding positions in hospital-based settings such as hospital outpatient clinics, emergency departments, inpatient facilities, or hospital sponsored surgery centers. The Certificate Program includes theoretical and laboratory instruction on the Phoenix College campus as well as a professional practice affiliation in an area health care setting. The Medical Coding: Hospital-Based Program provides the foundation needed for the Certified Coding Associate (CCA) examination of the AHIMA.
Certified coders are in demand in the fast-growing health care industry. Although certification is provided by professional organizations unrelated to this Program, this PC’s curriculum provides a strong theoretical foundation needed for selected credentialing examinations. With instruction provided by award-winning professionals and hands-on experience gained through internships, Phoenix College students are well prepared to use their skills of data collection and analysis in areas such as billing, compliance, and data quality.

Learning to Be "Green"
In keeping with Phoenix College’s goal to provide programs and services to meet the needs of our diverse community, the college has developed a new academic certificate and several non-credit training courses and programs in support of environmental issues.
Environmental imageNon-credit Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) exam prep courses are being offered at the college’s PC Downtown campus to disseminate knowledge for the rapid growth of the green construction market as a remedy to both energy issues and the rising unemployment rate. Current professionals, builders, and graduates can utilize LEED exam prep courses to quickly reinvigorate their careers and share in the growing green construction market. Phoenix College offers Green training in the areas of LEED Green Associate, Energy Auditor, and Sustainable Building Advisor Program.
Given the climate we live in, an educational foundation in solar energy could build a solid career. The non-credit Photovoltaic (PV) entry level program provides students the basic knowledge, comprehension, and application of key terms and concepts as recognized by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). Photovoltaic (PV) devices generate electricity directly from sunlight. Program graduates will have the basic knowledge of solar electricity suitable for a supervised, entry-level position with a dealer and/or installer or other PV industry company.
This semester, Phoenix College is offering a new Environmental and Natural Resources Stewardship certificate program to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of environmental and natural resource issues, problems, and policies through the study of selected courses. Students examine the ethical theories and moral principles of global environmental issues, explore methods of inquiry and the human impact on ecosystems, and human policy related to natural resources. The 19-credit certificate includes courses in public policy, biology, and environmental ethics, along with elective course covering topics such as natural history, American government, chemistry in society, and American Indians of the Southwest.
