MaKami’s unique Medical Office Assistant program is based on a case study format. On your first day of school, you are “hired” as a medical office assistant in a mock company. You will have imaginary clients, co-workers, tasks and assignments, giving you the edge to hit the ground running when you graduate less than a year later!
Using the latest technology, all students will be provided with a laptop for their studies, fully loaded with their program curriculum. MOA certificate students spend the first four months of their program mastering basic office administrative functions. They then transition into developing healthcare-specific skills, including healthcare fundamentals, medical terminology, medical software and more.
In the last month of the medical office assistant program, students will get real-life experience with 160 hours of practicum training that you can include in your resume as experience, even before you graduate.
In addition to a variety of transferrable skills, including keyboarding, Microsoft Office, career preparation and more, you’ll also earn certifications in First Aid and Privacy Awareness in Healthcare Training.
