Web-Based Curriculum for Teaching the Fundamentals of Diagnostic and Service Coding to Medical Trainees

In order to provide an accurate, consistent level of training in coding that is accessible to all internal medicine residents, Dr. Chick generated a web‐based complete coding curriculum ("Coding 101") designed to instruct internal medicine residents in the principles of diagnostic and service coding. Learners can watch videos or read cases and practice coding their own services.

Coding 101 is designed to perform well both as an interactive stand‐alone adult learning tool and as an instructional tool used by faculty within another curriculum. As such it includes both a Learner's guide and Teacher's guide to facilitate use of the curriculum.

The site has been made available to the public at http://sitemaker.umich.edu/coding101 [1].

Promoting Excellence & Innovation in Teaching & Learning at U-M

Founded in 1962, the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) at the University of Michigan was the first teaching center in the country. CRLT partners with U-M faculty, graduate students, and administrators to promote a university culture that values and rewards teaching, respects and supports individual differences among learners, and encourages the creation of learning environments in which diverse students can learn and excel.
