The final two semesters focus on Medical Office Administration with advanced-level technological skills. You will graduate with a solid knowledge of medical terminology and its construction and a general background in anatomy and physiology. You'll be familiar with procedures required to operate a medical office and are skilled in transcription of a wide range of medical data. You will use your well-developed literacy skills in every course as you interpret detailed instructions, both verbal and written, and prepare a variety of documents, letters and reports. Your fluency in English is critical for your success and there is a high focus on communicating effectively from the beginning of your program to graduation.
