Harris School of Business

Do you feel fulfilled when you are helping others? Are you interested in helping patients feel more comfortable and cared for when they visit their doctor or local medical clinic? Are you considering medical assistant schools? Do you want the sense of fulfillment that comes from joining a professional health care team?

Become a medical assistant and you can help patients and doctors experience more productive and meaningful relationships.

As a medical assistant, you will serve as the primary link between patients and their doctors. You will play a key role in helping medical practices run smoothly. And you will have the option to work in a wide range of clinical settings.

And if you enjoy variety in your day-to-day responsibilities, becoming a medical assistant is the right choice for you.

Do you want to pursue a career in the business side of health care? As a health claims specialist, you will work in medical billing and coding, and prepare, submit, and process medical insurance claims.

In addition to processing routine claims, a health claims specialist might also investigate pending claims and resolve medical billing discrepancies. Becoming a health claims specialist is a great way to work in a fast-growing, medically related field, especially if you prefer not to work directly with patients on a clinical level.

The Harris School health claims specialist program also prepares students for national certifications, a significant advantage for Harris School graduates as they enter the workplace.
