Overview
The Certified Medical Administrative Assistant Program at Saint Joseph's College offers students the opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills to be a Medical Administrative Assistant. Medical administrative assistants (also called medical office assistants or medical secretaries) are critical in keeping healthcare offices running smoothly, and also pay an important role in patient experience. Tasks vary by setting, but may include reviewing and answering practice correspondence, operate computer systems to accomplish office tasks, answering calls and scheduling appointments, greeting patients and updating electronic medical records, updating and maintaining patient and other practice-specific information, coordinating operation reports, and operating office software and equipment.
Upon completion of this course, students will be eligible to sit for their CMAA national certification. The certification is through the National Healthcareers Association.
The average hourly pay for a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant is $11.00 - $15.00.
