What Does a Clinical Medical Assistant & Scribe Professional Do?

Medical Assistants are multi-skilled allied healthcare professionals who work to administer medications, assist with minor procedures, record vital signs, prepare patients and rooms for examination, obtain laboratory specimens, provide patient education and much more. The primary function of a medical scribe professional is the creation and maintenance of the patient’s medical record, which is created under the supervision of the attending physician. The scribe will document the patient’s story, the physician’s interaction with the patient, the procedures performed, the results of laboratory studies, and other pertinent information. The combination of these roles allows for a top candidate to excel in any healthcare environment.

What You’ll Learn

HI 9800

Clinical Medical Assistant & Scribe

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!
