Working with industry veteran instructors in a small class setting, students will develop competence and confidence in medical documentation and terminology, clinical office procedures, billing, scheduling, business skills, computer applications, and medical software so that they can efficiently manage the demands of the front desk in any medical facility. A six-week work practicum placement will give them an opportunity to practice and refine their skills in real-world situations. Their participation in Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology Work Skills Series workshops will provide a foundation of employability and essential skills that today’s employer demands.
