Topics covered include the basics of professionalism, communication skills, legal and ethical issues, health insurance, practice management and an introduction to basic medical coding. The focus of this course is the day-to-day operation of the medical office: telephone techniques, scheduling appointments, use of technology in the medical office, and management of practice finances. This program is intended to provide students with a well-rounded introduction to medical administration so that a student can gain the necessary skills required to obtain a medical office assistant position or supplement a clinical medical assisting position. Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be prepared to sit for the National Health career Association (NHA) Certified Clinical Medical Assisting (CCMA) examination.
