Computers are the foundation of today's business world and the Office Management program combines traditional office skills with the latest in computer technology and software. Graduates from either the Administrative Office Management or Medical Office Management concentrations acquire the skills to sit for the Microsoft Office Specialist exams.
The two-year Associate Degree concentrations enable the student to become a valuable asset to the business office or the medical office through intensive skill-based courses. Students learn the latest version of business software including Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Publisher, and QuickBooks Pro.
The Office Assistant Certificate, Administrative Concentration, which can be earned in one year, is available for the student who wants to acquire basic office skills including word processing, spreadsheets, and accounting. The Office Assistant Certificate, Medical Concentration, which can be earned in one year, is available for the student who wants to acquire basic medical office skills including HIPPA regulations, health information management, and patient scheduling. The certificate program allows students to transfer credits into the degree program.
A Medical Transcription Certificate is offered for students who desire office support work in a medical setting or to work from home. Successful completion allows graduates to work in medical records departments, physicians' offices, long-term and health care facilities.
The college must ensure that clients, patients or medical information are not placed in jeopardy by students during learning experiences. Therefore, students in office or clinical experiences must demonstrate sufficient emotional stability to withstand the stresses, uncertainties, and changing circumstances that characterize client/patient/medical information responsibilities or be removed from placement. Furthermore, the student is expected to have the emotional stability required to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance from a supervisor or faculty member, and establish rapport and maintain sensitive interpersonal relationships with employers, clients/patients and their families.
