  AI in Coding, Member Benefits Deep Dive & the Mentor City Program | AAPC Social Hour

  Jun 26, 202650 min

  ***Recorded June 26, 2026*** Alex is out, so Dave holds it down with Missy Kirshner from the AAPC National Advisory Board and Kristen Reber from the National Office for a walkthrough of what your AAPC membership actually includes. We have a conversation about AI at work, including how AAPC is rolling out its own Copilot tool and why coders have heard "your job is going away" before (twenty years ago it was EMR). From there, Kristen does a live tour of the career tools page on aapc.com, covering the resume builder, mock interviewer, career development program, free member webinars, the AAPC Magazine quiz trick you probably didn't know about, and the new email signature generator. Missy breaks down the Mentor City program and previews the Lead career summit, the final installment in the Grow, Build, Lead career elevation series. Also covered: chapter officer nominations in August, the Emerging Leaders program (applications open in November), and a whole lot of free CEUs hiding in plain sight.
