You might be after front-desk work in a clinic or practice. This course pairs core office skills with medical terminology, patient records, and the accounts side. Study runs online at a pace you set.
Medical words get a unit of their own. Reading a referral is most of the job.
Patient records get a unit of their own. So does keeping them private and safe.
The course covers medical accounts. That is what sets a clinic desk apart from a normal one.
Clinics, practices and hospitals all run a front desk. The work is bookings, records, accounts, and knowing what the words mean.
Front desk of a clinic or practice: bookings, arrivals, records.
Correspondence, referrals and scheduling for practitioners.
Preparing and processing accounts inside a medical setting.
Patient records kept accurate, private and findable.
Roles where this course helps, not promised jobs. Job Outlook expects the medical field and the front desk pathway to grow in the years ahead.
Thirteen units: office core first, then the medical side.
Nine units cover core office work. The other four are medical: word meanings, accounts, records, and privacy.
