    Description
    In this course, advanced medical assisting students further apply medical theory in the context of direct patient care. Instruction includes medication administration, dosage calculations, microbiology and immunology, specimen collection/processing, and lab report interpretation. Throughout the three-course clinical techniques series, students develop professional maturity and a basic understanding of the complexities of healthcare, health risks, and comorbidities, as well as chronic disease management. Having met all required competencies, students prepare for externships and the national certification (RMA through AMT) exam. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
