More than a job: CDI as a profession

The ACDIS Podcast

Today’s guest is Deanne Wilk, MPS, BSN, RN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CCS, CDI education specialist at HCPro/ACDIS. Today’s show is part of the “Talking CDI” series. In every episode of this series, ACDIS Director of Programming Rebecca Hendren is joined by a member of the ACDIS Advisory Board, one of our expert Boot Camp instructors, or an expert on a particular area to discuss a topic pertinent to today’s CDI profession. Our intro and outro music for the ACDIS Podcast is “medianoche” by Dee Yan-Kay and our ad music is “Take Me Higher” by Jahzzar, both obtained from the Free Music Archive.
