The workbook is the working half of this course. Module 3 will ask you to pause the video and complete the Task Exposure Self-Assessment, so have it open (or printed) before you begin.

1 The Honest State of the Union 8 min
The fear, named and fact-checked. What autonomous coding actually does today, the shortage paradox, and the reframe that drives the whole hour.
2 Inside the Machine 12 min
How AI actually assigns codes: the four-stage pipeline, what confidence scores really mean, and the five structural failure modes. The module the rest of the course stands on.
3 The Task Audit 12 min
Workbook moment: this module asks you to pause and complete the Task Exposure Self-Assessment (Workbook Part 1). Budget an extra 10 minutes.
Four coders, one credential, four different futures — then you score your own role, task by task, and read your exposure profile.
4 The Skills That Appreciate 13 min
The validator role and the five skills rising in value while routine assignment falls. You’ll pick your two in the workbook’s Gap Grid (Part 3).
5 Your Ninety-Day Move 15 min
Thirty days: build evidence. Sixty: get in the room (the manager script is Workbook Part 5). Ninety: make it official. Closes with the full-course recap, your three actions for this week, and the October ritual that keeps you ahead of every model in the industry.
“I am happy to endorse Inside the Machine by Brightcore AI. Every CPC should learn these things ASAP.”

Every October, the code set updates and every AI model briefly codes from last year’s map. The ICD-10 Code Update Survival Kit packages that annual edge — built as a companion to this course.
