Question : Can a medical coder also work as a medical secretary?
I am thinking about taking some medical coding courses and possibly being a medical coder but I am also thinking about being a medical secretary. I know secretaries should have some coding knowledge, so I thought I could become a certified medical coder. I want to be able to do either profession depending on job opportunities.

Medical Assistants are usually the office secretaries
Yes in theory they would be able to, but you would also have to take some further training into more the office area, as medical coding is a very specialized field.
