UpDate Sessions allow MCS-Ps to get up-to-date on new laws, statutes and regulations while allowing ample time for social activities with new and old friends. These sessions are closed to the public and provide MCS-P, CPC and PAHCOM CEUs

Suggestions for locations have indicated a desire to go somewhere fun, where everyone can enjoy their free time, relax and get to know other MCS-Ps. Learning without the pressure of having to take the MCS-P exam was mentioned frequently and considered a plus.

 


2010 MCS-P UpDate Session in Cherry Hill, NJ

Date:  February 24, 25, and 26(noon), 2010

Location:             Cooper University Hospital 
                                3 Executive Campus, Suite 390
                                 Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

This year we’re heading to the northeast…….!  The Feb UpDate Session will be at Cooper University Hospital-Executive Campus.  Cooper University Hospital is a dynamic, integrated healthcare delivery system serving southern New Jersey.  As clinical campus of the University of Medicine and Dentistry/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Cooper University Hospital is dedicated to medical education and research excellence.  University Physicians-Cooper, the teaching faculty of UMDNJ/RWJMS, maintains more than 50 office sites.  The origins of Cooper University Hospital can be traced to 1887, when a  prominent Quaker family named Cooper opened a hospital to provide medical care for the indigent population of Camden, NJ.  Please visit www.cooperhealth.org for more information.  Tina Cressman, MCS-P, MCS-I is the Director, Revenue Cycle Education and has been teaching the MCS-P Course and Exam at Cooper for the past few years.  I am looking forward to working with Tina and the MCS-Ps from New Jersey and surrounding areas as we bring the UpDate Session to you.

Cooper University Hospital has extended their block sleeping room rates at the Holiday Inn Philadelphia-Cherry Hill at Cooper University rates.  The Holiday Inn will also provide shuttle service for us to the Executive Campus classroom in the morning and afternoon.   We certainly appreciate the hospitality.

The northeast is a very stimulating part of the country, steeped in history, so there will be lots to do and see.  There are many nearby attractions to consider:

  • The National Constitution Center.  A interactive history museum just blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.   www.constitutioncenter.org for more exhibit information.
  • USS Battleship New Jersey.  The most-decorated battleship in America exhibits artifacts from its past.  www.battleshipnewjersey.org for additional details to visitors access to the ship interior. 
  • Haddonfield, borough.  A residential suburb of Camden and Philadelphia settled in 1713.  Of interest are Indian King Tavern (1750) where the first state legislature met in 1777 and the Haddonfield Historical Society.  The site of the first nearly complete dinosaur fossil ever found (1838), the “Haddonfield Hadrosaur:, is a national historic landmark.
  • Campbells field.  Opened in 2001.  Campbells Field sits at the base of the famous and beautiful Ben Franklin Bridge across from the Philadelphia skyline.  www.ballpartreviews.com for more information.
  • Sesame Place.  20 miles from the hotel.  Sesame Place includes slides, rides and entertainments including Sesame street friends. See www.sesameplace.com .
  • Susquehanna Bank Center. The Performing Arts provides great music.   www.livenation.com for specifics of the musical entertainment being offered.
  • Philadelphia Zoo.  Americas first zoo located just ten miles from the hotel and a home for over 1300 animals. www.philadelphiazoo.org for more information.
  • Atlantic City/Jersey Beaches are about an hour away.  Atlantic City Casinos, Atlantic City Outlets and Atlantic City shows are also available entertainment.  See www.atlanticcitynj.com for a calendar of events.
