Abstract
Covers specialty clinic front and back office topics for medical assisting, including how to effectively communicate with geriatric and young children in the medical setting. Students will learn about the challenges involved working with patients with varying brain capacity and function and how to best communicate treatment to them. Nutrition and its effects on patients’ brains will be discussed as well as how to integrate it into a treatment plan. This class also focuses on teaching students about the many types of specialty clinics and how they differ from each other in treatment and diagnosis. Students will also learn how to perform specialty clinical lab techniques as well as various WAIVE testing. Also introduced are 12-lead electrocardiography training and x-ray imaging as well as surgical set up and sterilization techniques. Finally, students will learn about clinic management and human resources.
