New Year, New Job!
It’s a new year. Can you picture yourself working in the medical field? There are two great new offerings at the respected Medical Academy at Castro Valley Adult & Career Education (CVACE). Start the new year by gaining new skills and getting on a new career path!
Whether you already work in the medical field, or would like to, a medical terminology class can help you communicate more effectively with both patients and colleagues. It’s often used in medical records and administrative tasks and provides a foundation for learning complex topics. Those preparing to sit for the CCBMA certification exam or medical assistants needing continuing education would benefit from this course as well as someone who is thinking about the medical field for the future. Medical Terminology with Anatomy and Physiology is completely online with live interactive lectures from Ms. Shelli Sherman, an experienced health careers instructor. The class is held Monday and Wednesday evenings from January 22nd though March 6th and the cost is $135.
If you see yourself in the medical field but more on the administrative side, CVACE is offering a new Introduction to Medical Billing & Coding that prepares students for the NCCT Insurance and Coding Specialist Certification. Professionals in this field play an important role in ensuring health care providers get reimbursed and run efficient healthcare organizations. You’ll learn about various health insurance programs, how to review documentation and coding, how to submit claims, revenue cycle management and more. The course is completely online with live lectures Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9-12:30pm. The cost is $985. It runs from January 22nd through May 15th.
These exciting new offerings are in addition to the ongoing and respected classes at the CVACE Medical Academy including Clinical Medical Assisting, Administrative Medical Assistant, EKG/ECG Technician and Community Health Worker.
The world needs more caring and trained people in the medical field and opportunities are growing. These programs are designed to prepare people to get to work quickly. CVACE is not a “for profit school.” CVACE’s vocational training programs offer the value and the security of being part of a public school and the accredited Castro Valley Unified school district.
