This course will prepare students for successful careers as administrative medical office assistants. Covering customer service, medical terminology, and administrative tasks from appointment scheduling to medical billing, this will help students develop the knowledge and skills they need to think critically and respond confidently to the challenges they will encounter in a medical office. Students will work with an electronic medical record simulation and will practice day-to-day tasks as if they were in an actual office setting. In addition, the students will be introduced to Word, Excel and Outlook. This course articulates with Merced College’s Administrative Medical Office Class, AOM 59. Each student will be placed at an internship at a local health care facility in order to get real life experience.
