They hire medical office administrators who manage a variety of tasks such as greeting patients, providing customer service, managing general business processes of the office, and managing health records. A big part of this role is helping patients to feel at ease, answering administrative questions, and ensuring the accuracy of health records. In the Medical Office Administration program, students develop skills in medical office procedures, anatomy and related terminology, medical billing, professional communication, business software applications for the medical office, electronic health records, and general business office administration. The program length is 42 weeks.
