If you like details, you will love this job. As a Medical Office Assistant (MOA), you will work in a fast-paced medical office where you will handle things like records management, communications, patient scheduling, patient check-in and out, and billing.
Completing the MOA Program means you can qualify to enroll in the Medical Billing/Insurance Specialist Program, which can help you to advance even further in your career.
The MOA Program will teach you everything you need to know to work successfully in this type of specialized office environment, like industry buzzwords and definitions, records documentation, legal issues, office techniques, and how to identify organs and body-system structures through an introduction to Anatomy and Physiology.
As an added benefit, you can enroll in an optional externship. An externship is an actual site placement where you will spend time working and using the skills you've acquired during your certificate program in a real work environment. Externships help you successfully transition from classroom to workplace. Also included is a workshop where you can learn to develop and write your resume and get tips for job searching in the medical environment.
