Medical Office and Office Occupations Description: These programs provide students with the skills they need to perform clerical work in the medical field. These positions may be available in hospitals, medical clinics, and other medical facilities. The medical field requires employees who are conscientious, responsible and respect the confidential nature of medical information. Medical assistants help physicians examine and treat patients, as well as perform routine tasks needed to keep the office running smoothly. Although medical assistants can perform both clinical and administrative tasks, the nature of the work varies from office to office. The size of the practice affects the scope of the job, as does the physician's view of medical assisting responsibilities. Medical assistants must not only be good at putting patients at ease but also be good listeners and interpret a physician's instructions correctly the first time they are given. Typical job tasks may include: • Take/record vital signs and medical histories • Schedule and receive patients • Complete and submit insurance claim forms • Perform basic laboratory tests • Maintain and file patient medical records • Order and maintain supplies • Prepare professional correspondence • Answer the telephone • Telephone prescriptions to the pharmacy • Assist in examinations • Manage billing and bookkeeping • Annotate incoming mail • Explain treatment procedures to patients • Arrange for hospital admission and laboratory services The Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assistant prepares students in the first year of the curriculum to perform initial clerical duties in hospitals, medical clinics, and other medical facilities. The second year adds skills in medical terminology, management, and clinical skills with emphasis on the role of the medical assistant in the medical care delivery team. The Medical Aide Certificate of Completion prepares students to work in a medical office or as an aide in a health care setting. Medical clerical workers or aides will process and transmit information to physicians, patients, office personnel and outside organizations. These activities require a good command of the English language, medical terminology and a basic understanding of the structure and functions of the human body. Medical clerical workers or aides must be tactful in their dealings with many different people, and therefore should possess excellent interpersonal skills. Discretion, judgment, organizational ability, and initiative are important, as well as versatility and adaptability. Conscientiousness, a sense of responsibility, and respect for the confidential nature of medical information are also required. Sample jobs/titles include: Home Health Aide, Caregiver, Personal Care Attendant, Residence Assistant, Office Clerk/Receptionist. • Pending state approval the Medical Aid Certificate of Completion will be available fall 2006. Program notes Associate of Applied Science Medical Assistant Notes: 1. See Distribution requirement lists on page 63. Courses must be from outside the student’s area of concentration. 2.
