Medical Office Technology-A.A.S. Degree

The Medical Office Technology program provides three options for students with the flexibility of choosing a career as a medical assistant, medical secretary, or medical transcriptionist. The course of study includes general as well as administrative duties of a medical facility. These duties involve scheduling appointments, interacting with patients, submitting patient insurance claims using current coding procedures, and maintaining medical and financial records. Students develop efficient skills in transcribing medical reports to include letters, history and physicals, operative reports, discharge summaries, and pathology reports.

Medical Assisting Option

Medical assistants are trained in both front office administrative skills and back office clinical skills to assist doctors and nurses in administering to the needs of patients. In addition to medical secretarial duties, they have the skills to assist with examinations and treatments, take medical histories, give medications and skin test (under supervision), draw blood, perform diagnostic tests, perform office laboratory procedures, and sterilize instruments and equipment.

Students successfully completing the program are awarded the Associate of Applied Science degree. Students may enter autumn semester.

Students must pass all courses with a minimum grade of "C" in order to continue in this option and graduate. Any single course may be attempted a maximum of two times. Repeated failure will result in removal from this option. Students are expected to take national certification exams upon completion of this option. Students are responsible for filing required forms, associated fees, and grade transcripts.

Prior to entering the internship portion of this option, students must be tested for tuberculosis with the PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) or chest x-ray. If the test is positive, a health care provider's statement will be required stating the care being received. Students are required to receive the Hepatitis B Vaccine (HBV) prior to clinical internship experiences. Since there is a series of three vaccines, students should begin the series in the first year of the program. CPR training should be completed prior to beginning the second year internships.
