Introduction

Our 41 week Medical Office Assistant (MOA) program will provide students with the knowledge and training to be successful in a medical office. Students will learn how to communicate accurately with medical professionals and patients. They will learn the skills to perform office duties at a medical office or clinic, such as medical billing, medical transcription, and medical office procedures.

Career Opportunities

Graduates are employed by hospitals, medical and dental offices, and other offices throughout the public and private sectors.
Upon completion of the program, you could find employment as a:

Medical Office Assistant
Medical Secretary
Medical Office Administrator
Medical Billing Specialist
Clinical Assistant
Medical Transcriptionist

While Medical Office Assisting is a gratifying career in and of itself, you also have room to progress if you choose to. Many Medical Office Assistants go on to become Medical Office Managers or take on other supervisory roles (which comes with a graduated pay scale) once they have gained some experience. Likewise, you may choose to use Medical Office Assisting as a stepping stone, pursuing further education while you get experience in the medical field.
