Medical Office
Administrative Assistant
Certificate
 About the Program
Midlands Technical College’s Medical Office
Administrative Assistant certificate, a 38 credit-hour program, has
been designed to provide students with training and on-the-job
experience for administrative assistant jobs in larger medical
organizations. The program is intended to complement both the
Medical Assisting program and the Office System Specialist programs
at MTC. Graduates of the program will specialize in medical
administrative support activities in hospitals, free standing
outpatient clinics, and group practices with large numbers of
physicians and medical support personnel. The focus in the program
is on clerical/administrative functions with no clinical training or
responsibilities. Students in the program, however, will receive
coursework in medical terminology and medical office procedures to
insure a solid basic understanding of the medical environment in
which they will work. In addition, students will receive
instruction in techniques and procedures in insuring office
security, as well as the requirements to insure patient health
information privacy. Additionally, students enrolled in the program
will receive hands-on, practical training during a required
semester-long internship in a medical office environment.
Employment opportunities for successful graduates of this program
are exceptional.
