The Medical Scribe and Administrative Professional program is a comprehensive program designed to equip students with the requisite knowledge and skills needed to gain AMSP certification and ultimately employment as a Medical Scribe. Additionally, as the role of a Scribe will include clerical and administrative functions, our graduates are also prepared to sit for the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) exam. By obtaining this certification, students demonstrate they can keep the medical office running efficiently and smoothly. Training in the program is centered around instructor-led videos as the primary means of instruction. The program objectives include discussing the roles and responsibilities of a Medical Scribe as part of the healthcare team, complying with relevant law and ethics, the Omnibus Rule, HIPAA, and HITECH, demonstrating electronic health record documentation as applicable, and explaining how medical coding play a role and impacts the clinic workflow and revenue cycle.
This program has open enrollment and does not have any application deadlines.
