Critique my resume please!
Background: I just graduated from college with a bachelors degree in Health Information Management. I already work in the industry as a medical biller in a small physician office. I want to advance to hospital or a large physician group and do more of what I learned in school as oppose to my experience as a biller (feels that the experience is a plus). I would love for interested people to help in reviewing this resume and let me know if I am portraying my interest to the pontential employers in the right manner. TIA
I also want to say that my resume is two pages and I really don't know how to cut it down because I want to showcase my projects and pratical experiences. Please advise!

In thinking about it, I think you should significantly shorten the stuff you've been doing in school. Hit the highlights (programs you used, etc.) but you don't need to specify that you presented each one to your class or that sort of thing. I think employers will be more interested in the fact that you took Classes A, B, and C than the nitty gritty of what that course entailed.
I'm on the fence about the order. Since you're doing this now, it's important to show that you have the education for it. But if you have real world job experience at the same time, that can be just as important, if not more so.
