Medical Office Administration (2142)
Doctors and the entire medical office team will appreciate the high quality work you produce. The Medical Office Administration program enables students
to gain the general knowledge of computer software, office systems, communications
and human resources necessary in managing today’s medical offices. Earning an A.S. or A.A.S. degree
in Medical Office Administration will qualify you to start a great career as a medical
secretary, medical transcription office assistant, medical office coordinator or medical
office assistant. The program teaches you medical terms, computer keyboard skills and
speed development, software used in medical offices, customer service basics, and business
communications.
A technical certificate (Medical Office
Management) is included as an option within this degree program.
Students may choose to pursue an A.S. or A.A.S. degree and earn a technical
certificate while completing the requirements for the degree, or pursue one or
more certificate programs to develop or upgrade their skills in a particular field.
Contact an advisor or counselor to determine the career education path that is best
for you. Students may complete a degree in only one of the three specialty tracks,
Office Administration, Medical Office or Office Software Applications. Students who
wish to add a second area of specialization after completing a degree should pursue
the technical certificate in that area.
This program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
Estimated tuition for Florida residents is $4,000 (as of 07/05).
Contact the program manager for additional costs (fees, textbooks, materials).
