Medical assistants are multi- skilled health professionals who assist in patient care management and perform a broad range of clinical and administrative duties. Administratively, medical assistants schedule and receive patients, establish and maintain medical records, manage telephone calls, complete varied correspondence, process insurance claims, billing, coding, and monitor finances. Clinical duties include: patient preparation, assisting in minor surgery and outpatient treatments, taking vital signs, venipuncture, performingCLIA waived testing, urinalysis, injections, electrocardiography, pulmonary function tests, Holter monitor, eye and ear instillations and irrigations, routine diagnostic tests, sterilization procedures, and assisting physicians with various examinations. Medical assistants are valuable members of the health care team, and job opportunities are numerous in Central Ohio and nationwide. \u0026ldquo;The Columbus State Community College Medical Assisting Certificate Program is accredited by The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB).\u0026rdquo; Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) 25400 U.S. Highway 19 North Suite 158 Clearwater, FL 33763P: 727-210-2350F: 727-210-2354 mail@caahep.org Medical assistants are multiskilled health professionals specifically educated to work in a variety of healthcare settings performing clinical and administrative duties. The practice of medical assisting necessitates mastery of a complex body of knowledge and specialized skills requiring both formal education and practical experience that serve as standards for entry into the profession. \u0026quot;To prepare medical assistants who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.\u0026quot; Statement Regarding Infectious Diseases Students in any of the Allied Health programs, including Medical Assisting, perform their clinical work on real people. Columbus State does not discriminate against students, faculty, or patients in any way, or based on color, creed, national origin, gender, disability or sexual preference. The patient populations with whom students will work come from all walks of life, and students may therefore be exposed to many types of communicable diseases. These are not limited to, but mayinclude, hepatitis (A, B, C or D), HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, mumps, rubella, rubeola, Covid, etc. NOTE: ALL students are required to have appropriate immunizations before they are admitted to the program, and must update throughout their course of study. (Information is provided to all admitted students.) Additionally, although all precautions are taken to minimize exposure and risk, there is always a slight possibility that precautions may fail or that a student may accidentally expose him/herself. All students entering the Medical Assisting program must be aware of this slight, but real, potential risk. Students are required to maintain personal health insurance or sign an insurance waiver. The student is financially responsible for any cost associated as a result of injuries incurred during clinical laboratories, practicum experiences or at clinical sites. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all students carry their own health insurance. Statement Concerning Students Who Plan to Follow the GXMO Radiography Licensing Path It is required that IMAG 1190 (Radiation Protection for General Machine Operators), IMAG 1101 (Introduction to Radiogra- phy Equipment and Patient Care), plus one positioning course from the selection of: IMAG 1102, IMAG 1103, IMAG 1104, or IMAG 1105, must be completed. This optional elective is only for those affected students and is not a requirement of the general Medical Assisting Certificate program."},"ceterms:dateEffective":"2014-08-25","ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":192.93,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:Tuition","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Tuition"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost for teaching and instruction."}}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":245.0,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:EnrollmentFee","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Enrollment Fee"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost to enroll in the learning opportunity being described."}}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1071.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1071.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in health specialties, in fields such as dentistry, laboratory technology, medicine, pharmacy, public health, therapy, and veterinary medicine."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/31-9092.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"31-9092.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Medical Assistants"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Perform administrative and certain clinical duties under the direction of a physician.
