Administrative Medical Assistant
www. linnbenton. edu / go / business-technology
The Administrative Medical Assistant program prepares students for front office work in physicians’ offices, clinics or hospitals. Medical administrative assistants perform office duties that use their knowledge of medical terms and procedures. Duties may include scheduling and receiving patients; transcribing medical reports; obtaining patient’ s data; maintaining medical records; handling telephone calls, correspondence, reports and manuscripts; and eventually assuming responsibility for office management, insurance matters, coding diagnoses and procedures, office accounts, fees and collections. They can assist physicians with reports, speeches and journal articles. All of these tasks require medical administrative assistants to be experts with medical terms.
A person wanting to become an administrative medical assistant should have the ability to get along well with people and the desire to work in a medical atmosphere. A successful administrative medical assistant must be reliable, must enjoy detail work, must be able to multitask, and must work well under stress, as he / she will be dealing with many different people each day--many of whom are ill.
During his / her second year, a student’ s work experience consists of 180 hours as a medical administrative assistant in a front office position in a clinic or hospital. Students are trained to work independently with minimal supervision. This opportunity provides a bridge between classroom and career.
