Aspiring medical coder with a strong background in biomedical science.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science from Cardiff Metropolitan University, where I graduated with First Class honors. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in biomedical principles and research methodologies, culminating in a research project focused on developing a cost-effective Real-time PCR for detecting bacteria in juice can lids.
Currently, I am working as a Medical Coder at MedSource PVT LTD, where I apply my theoretical knowledge of medical coding systems, including ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS. My role involves coding for USA clients, specifically in the Emergency Department, which has honed my skills in medical terminology, data entry, and analytical problem-solving. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging position that allows me to contribute effectively while continuing to grow professionally.
