Certified Documenter in Ambulance
CDAMB™

Documentation is key for accuracy to support clinical requirements, coding, and quality measures.  The CDAMB™ credential is for health care providers, from medical assistants to physicians, to increase their patient care and solidify the ambulance company.

​

With the Special Coder Institute, all credential exams are fill-in-the-blank.  SCI does not utilize the multiple-choice format as real-world documentation is not multiple choice.
