Medical Office Management

Students in this two-year program will learn the skills needed to prepare for employment in a healthcare providers’ office, clinic, or hospital. The typical physician rarely has time to attend to the administrative responsibilities of the office and is turning toward administrative assistants to schedule patients, maintain medical communications, manage financial records and perform front-desk operations. Senior students will be scheduled for internships in the medical office field during year two.

Students will have the additional opportunity in the *Medical Office Management Capstone course to receive credit for both in-school and/or out-of-school learning experiences.
