This course will provide the knowledge and skills to understand and apply practical applications in the Electronic Health Record, managing the revenue cycle, and documenting patient encounters. As most of the healthcare industry uses electronic health records, this is a valuable course to become familiar with the data that is entered into the medical record and practice management software, how that data is entered and how the data is reviewed and processed throughout all departments of a medical practice. Lecture: 27 hours Laboratory: 81 hours 80 Medical Assisting Certification Exam Preparedness 1 Unit This course will help prepare the medical assistant to take a national or state medical assistant certification examination. Focus will be on general, administrative, and clinical components as well as student study skills and exam techniques needed to prepare for and to take an exam. Lecture: 18 hours MATHEMATICS (MTH) Degrees AS-T Mathematics AS Mathematics MATHEMATICS Associate in Science for Transfer This curriculum provides an opportunity to achieve an Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer to the California State University System (CSU) while completing the first and second year requirements for transfer to a four-year institution. A baccalaureate degree is recommended preparation for those considering professional careers in business. Completion of this curriculum will demonstrate commitment to the field and provide comprehensive preparation for upper-division work. This program is designed specifically for the California State University system. Lower Division requirements for the University of California system and private four-year colleges vary by transfer school. Please see a counselor for transfer requirements for other institutions. Students who intend to transfer must meet all current transfer requirements including minimum GPA. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to discuss transfer requirements and lower division major preparation that is needed for their intended transfer school.
