This complete self-study course on coding combines content, practice, and self-assessment into one online learning tool that the learner can follow at his or her own pace.

- Interactive exercises, questions, and activities allow users to check their comprehension and learn from immediate feedback.
- Illustrations clarify concepts and familiarize students with the clinical procedures they are learning to code.
- Chapter exams are scored and incorporated in a grade book, which users can view to evaluate their progress.
- A series of approximately 18 SlideShows with audio narration explain and demonstrate clinical procedures.
