Mary Wilcox completes accelerated medical billing and coding certificate, plans job search with Maricopa County contact

Mary Wilcox said she completed an accelerated medical billing and coding certificate from June to August and plans to look for remote work with assistance from a Maricopa County contact.

"What's great about it being an accelerated course is that I was able from June to August just work and get my certificate compared to a year," Wilcox said. She added, "Now that I've graduated, my next step is to get a job and start looking, putting out my resumes. I'm gonna be working with, Donna Bunch for the for the Maricopa County and getting my resumes out."

Wilcox described the program as an accelerated option that allowed her to complete training in roughly three months instead of the usual year. She said the credential will help her move from fast-food work into the medical field and that she is pursuing remote positions that fit medical billing and coding skills.

Wilcox did not provide the name of the training provider or specific employer prospects; she said only that she will work with Donna Bunch at Maricopa County to help distribute resumes. The transcript does not specify whether Wilcox's remarks were part of a public-comment period or another agenda item.

Next steps described by Wilcox were job searching and resume distribution with the Maricopa County contact; no formal actions, votes, or funding decisions related to the training were mentioned in the transcript.
