We
live in a country with a growing and aging population where major
changes are occurring in health administration and management. The
unusual influence of technological change, economic dynamics, and
health advances provides a foundation of opportunities for individuals
who can translate medical insurance and billing requirements for a
technologically advanced medical office. Medical/Dental support staffs
are increasingly playing an important role in the health field. This
program will prepare students to integrate office computer skills
with a solid medical background composed of medical terminology, medical/dental
billing and coding, and insurance skills unique to the medical/dental
office. Students also will be trained in basic clinical office procedures.
This mix of skills
can allow our students the option of beginning their careers in a
variety of hospital, medical or dental environments. Employment opportunities
are excellent due to very rapid expansion of doctors’ offices,
group medical practices, health maintenance organizations, clinics,
and other health care facilities. Our medical/dental programs prepare
our graduates for these exciting careers.
This program is
offered at our Hamden and Waterbury
locations.
