What You Need to Know in 30 Seconds
The Medical Office Administrator Diploma (Online) at Anderson College is a 44-week, fully online program culminating in a capstone project. Classes are instructor-led via live video with active participation, so students benefit from an engaging virtual learning experience with instructor and administrative support — ideal for balancing school with work or family.
The curriculum is CCHIM-accredited and covers medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, Electronic Medical Records (EMR), medical billing, medical transcription, scheduling and health-records management, healthcare ethics, and patient confidentiality (PHIPA & PIPEDA). Students also build Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) skills, keyboarding, data entry, document formatting, verbal and written communication, telephone etiquette, time management, and patient relations.
Graduates are eligible to write the national certification exam. Classes are led by instructors with medical office administration expertise, backed by Anderson's 140+ year commitment to student success. Career services — resume building, interview coaching, practicum placements, and job leads — are available for life. Financial Assistance may be available to those who qualify; our Admissions team is happy to walk through the options.
