How do I put a CPC certification on my resume?
You put a CPC certification on your resume in a dedicated certification section. Depending on the amount of experience you have, this should be at the top of your resume under your education or near the bottom under your work experience.
If you have more than one certification, you should include all certifications in this special section, and they should be listed in reverse chronological order. This means that your most recently completed certification should be at the top.
If you have more than one certification, you should decide whether all are relevant to the position you are applying for and eliminate any that do not apply.
In the certification section of your resume, you should list your CPC certification according to the following template:
Name of certification (written out in full)
Name of certifying agency or body
Date of certification/expiration (if applicable)
Location (if applicable)
So, for the CPC certification, this would look like this:
Certified Professional Coder, Advancing the Business of Healthcare
June 2021; Homer, Ohio
Additionally, If your certification has an expiration or 'renew by' date, be sure to add that. Only list valid certifications that have not expired. If your certification is in progress, you can add the expected completion date as stated above.
