Medical Reception-Certificate

The medical Reception curriculum provides the skills needed to function effectively in a medical office as a medical receptionist. Medical receptionists answer the phone and keep records of callers, schedule appointments and greet patients, and interview patients to gain needed information. In addition, they have a variety of clerical skills needed to work in a doctor's office or other medical facility. This training also prepares students to become ward secretaries who work as hospital staff, transcribe physician orders, and schedule medical procedures in accordance with physician orders.

Students successfully completing the program are awarded a Certificate of Completion.

The medical reception curriculum satisfies the requirements for the first year of the Medical Office Technology program. Students may enter in the autumn or spring semester.
