What do they do?
The purpose of the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Medical Administrative Management program is to prepare graduates to be multi-skilled health professionals who perform administrative, clinical, and management duties in a physician's office, clinic or other type of health care facility. Students are trained first and foremost as medical assistants with additional emphasis on management skills.

They may manage both routine and emergency situations, along with overseeing the staff and facilities.  Course work in office and human resource management will aid in professional growth and ability to assume a leadership role.

Where do they work?
With an associate degree in Medical Administrative Management, the graduate will have the opportunity to assist the physician in developing a healthier society.  Duties will include office management, performing diagnostic tests, and assisting the doctor with special procedures.  Both an administrative and clinical externship will provide the student with hands-on experience.

What are they paid?
We recommend that prospective students refer to local health care employers for earning potential in their region.  For a national overview of potential earnings, we recommend the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook found in the local library or visit their website.
