This all-inclusive National Healthcareer Association (NHA) aligned course can unlock the door to a thriving career. It offers valuable training in medical office management, legal, ethical, and regulatory concepts. Training also covers information on what is stored in an electronic health records (EHR) system, the steps required to implement an electronic health record system in a medical practice, how staff members and patients interact with EHR systems. This medical administrative assistant with EHR training even reviews what benefits these systems provide compared to traditional paper records.

The Medical Terminology course component introduces key concepts of medical language and human anatomy, emphasizing the interweaving of body systems in health and disease. The curriculum covers the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and immune systems, along with mental health and special senses, with exams at the midterm and final stages. Students with prior knowledge can optionally test-out by achieving a minimum score of 80%, replacing course content if desired. It is important to understand that this course feature only applies to the online Medical Terminology course, the standalone course, or advanced career training course bundles that include the Medical Terminology course.

Upon completion of this medical administrative assistant program, you will be ready to take the CMAA and the CEHRS national certification exams offered by the NHA.
