Use your technology skills in a medical office to help support patient care.
What is Medical Information Technology?
Medical Information Technology graduates prepare medical records and reports, maintain paper and electronic files, order supplies, perform accounting procedures, work with medical insurance and coding, and receive patients in a variety of health care settings. Students enrolled in the degree or diploma programs are required to do an internship or capstone course. Certificates build toward completion of diploma offerings and ultimately diploma offerings build on the degree tracks.
