If you prefer the administrative side over the clinic side of health care, our Medical Office Administration (MOA) program can prepare you for employment in medical and other healthcare-related offices. You will cover topics including medical terminology, medical office procedures, medical insurance and billing, introduction to computers, and keyboarding.
This is a certificate program and requires fewer credits and less time to complete than a degree or diploma program. Certificate programs can be taken alone but are often taken along with other Health programs.
