Short Description:
The Medical Administrative Specialist program provides students with a broad foundation of office and customer service skills.

Students are trained in basic office tasks, daily office operations, managing multiple incoming g phone lines at once, and how to multitask like a pro. If you have outstanding communication skills, attention to detail, along with a warm and professional personality, adding a medical administrative professional certification to your resume may take your career to the next level.
