What does a Medical Office Person Do?

Medical Administrative Office is an AAS (Associates of Applied Science) program.

As a medical administrative person you are the first person a patient encounters in the health facility as well as the one who verifies insurance, schedules, answers patient phone calls, verifies medical billing and manages the office workflow. If you are organized, compassionate and enjoy working with people you have some of the skills necessary to lead to success in a medical administrative office career. 

Employment is primarily in clinics, urgent care, and ambulatory care facilities. Medical Office students learn office administration skills and office management.

The AAS certificate can be earned in as little as 2 1/2 semesters.

OUR MISSION:

To prepare competent entry-level medical assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills) and affective (behavior) learning domains.
