We are bringing together rural coders from around the region to discuss the issues and challenges of medical coding in rural communities. Another unique aspect of the conference, says Olderog, is that a majority of the coders in attendance recently com- pleted the CEU-Sa- n Juan Campus Departmental Certificate in Professional Medical Coding. In fact, graduation certificates will be presented as part of the conference proceedings. It will be an exciting time.
