To become a medical records technician, you need to:
Get a college diploma or an associate degree in health record technology, health information management, or a related field.
Consider certification from a professional organization, such as the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) or the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
Gain experience in a healthcare setting, such as a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office, where you can learn medical terminology and medical records. Consider volunteer opportunities.
Update your resume with your education, certification, and experience.
Prepare for the interview by researching the employer and the job requirements.
