Online Medical Office Administration Program


Medical office administrators are the members of a medical team who make healthcare facilities run smoothly for doctors and patients. If you want to have a positive impact on people’s lives but would prefer not to have the responsibility of direct patient care, then medical office administration may be the career for you!

In our Medical Office Administration degree program, you will earn an associate degree in Medical Office Administration and acquire the skills to work in a hospital, doctor’s office, clinic, and other healthcare facilities.

The WVJC Online Medical Office Administration program teaches students how to manage a medical or healthcare facility’s “front of house” operations. These responsibilities range from patient management, such as scheduling appointments and treatments, to administrative management, such as billing, coding, and maintaining patient records.
