The demand for Medical Assistants and Scribes in the United States continues to grow at a rate that outpaces nearly all other allied health occupations. Traditionally, for every hour that physicians provide direct face time to patients – 2 more hours are spent on Electronic Health Records and other clerical work. A growing strategy to decrease this clerical burden is to use Medical Scribes trained to document patient encounters in real-time.

Since the EHR is at the core of a Medical Scribe’s daily job functions, students will gain knowledge of medical clinic workflow systems by engaging and interacting with a Simulated Software Application. The book and software activities included in this program use a building block approach to learning the medical clinic workflow processes. This approach ensures students are prepared to synthesize and organize medical data into a coherent entry so that it complies with office protocols, federal regulations, and insurance requirements.

The Clinical Medical Assistant and Scribe program is designed to equip students with the requisite knowledge and skills needed to achieve certification as a Medical Assistant (CCMA) and Medical Scribe (AMSP). Additionally, students are qualified and eligible for a third certification as a Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA). This combination of certifications provides graduates with a significant advantage in a competitive market!
