How to complete Medical Office Assistant certificate
"A year of part time studies at night, result a graduate of the MOA program and a job in a hospital!"
How I did it: I took classes for the past year in the MOA program, our finally course was a practicum and I was able to get it at our local Children's/Women's hospital and job shadow in a few different departments. My supervisor liked me so much that she has offered me a job (although casual) - at least I get my foot in the door and see what comes next. Now just some more specific training for the hospital and my job and now I am getting paid for it too!(YEAH)
Lessons & tips:
- Keep focused on the final goal
- Stay flexible for your practicum(clinic, DR office or hospital)
- Ask questions
- Step in and help
