My wife is itching to do something different. She has a PhD in Immunology and Microbiology. She is also a licensed Cytotechnologist (specializes in diagnosing cancer at the cellular level) and doesnt care to work in the lab or teach any longer. She is considering pursuing a CPC with thoughts that she would be a good candidate for working with payers in the Medical Policy department. While I do believe that may be a good option … I would love to know what many of you in the community think her career/job options would be. I’ve often seen attorneys and other folks with CPC and I understand why they have the designation but again, what about folks like my wife?

What do you believe her prospects would be?

I appreciate any and all comments.

Thanks
