| Description: |
The Mountain State University Associate of Science in Medical Assisting program trains students to perform both clinical and administrative (business) skills. People who want to help and care for others, but are not drawn to being physicians or nurses, are good candidates to enter the field of medical assisting. People who have a business background or an interest in management enter medical assisting because they can build on their skills, possibly leading to a clinic management position. Students learn to run the "front" office and can schedule appointments, answer the phone, call in prescriptions, prepare and maintain patient charts, do billing and collections, process insurance claims, transcribe medical documents, and perform many other administrative duties. The medical assisting program comprises general studies in the humanities, business, and the natural sciences along with the preparation for clinical and administrative health care positions. |
