3M mini boot camps

This year’s 3M pre-conference mini boot camps are designed to enhance your skills in clinical documentation integrity (CDI), coding and quality and will take place May 21-22, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, prior to the start of 3M CES. There will be four, concurrent mini boot camps to choose from. Each is pre-qualified for 10 AHIMA continuing education units (CEUs).

*Note: Please note that these mini boot camps are separate from 3M CES and are available at an additional cost. You’ll need to arrive in Atlanta a day earlier to attend, so please plan your travel accordingly.
