CDI Week: Day Four TRIVIA!

This is a more complicated one with a few parts. The 10th CORRECT response will receive a copy of the CDI Specialists' Guide to ICD-10.

1. What is the name of ACDIS' professional credential and its acronym
2. Where and when was the first paper/pencil administration of the exam held? (city and year please)
3. Roughly (nearest 100s) how many people have earned this credential so far?
