- In lieu of prior CDI experience, those with extensive ED/ICU experience and a willingness to learn CDI, will be considered
- CDI certification (CDIP or CCDS) is highly preferred
- Strong knowledge of MS-DRG methodology and ICD-10-CM/PCS

Opportunity 3: Outpatient/Practice CDI Specialist (Onsite orientation then remote)
