Program Description:  Medical receptionists greet visitors, answer telephones, route and screen calls, respond to inquiries from the public, schedule patient appointments, gather patients' personal and financial information and direct them to the proper waiting rooms. Receptionists in hospitals and doctors' offices are the first representatives that visitors encounter and they often leave a lasting impression of the organization. Most receptionists are expected to perform a variety of office duties, including opening and sorting mail, collecting and distributing parcels, transmitting and delivering facsimiles, updating appointment calendars, preparing travel vouchers, and performing basic bookkeeping, word processing, and filing. Employment for medical receptionists is expected to grow faster than average for all occupations through 2014. All courses in this program apply to the Medical Assistant and/or the Medical Coder/Biller programs. The full-time day program can be completed in 13 weeks.
