How to Choose a Medical Office Administration Program

Start with accreditation: confirm the school holds recognized institutional or programmatic accreditation, because it affects credit transfer, eligibility for some certification exams and how employers view the credential. Then compare the credential awarded, total program length and schedule, and how much of the program is hands-on.

Medical office administration programs usually award a certificate or associate degree covering scheduling, insurance, records and medical terminology.

Look for practice on electronic health record and practice-management software and an externship in a physician office. Graduates usually work in physician practices, hospitals and outpatient centers.

Before you enroll, ask each school what the schedule looks like week to week, how much time is spent in the lab, shop or clinic, which credential exams the curriculum covers, and how the school supports graduates in their job search. Outcomes vary by program and region, so ask for the school’s own completion figures and how they were measured.
