Summary: The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a new Career Technical Education(CTE) course in the RCOE Health Science and Medical Technology Sector: RCOE Advanced Medical Assisting Clinical. This course meets the UC/CSU A-G Requirement ā€œGā€.

RCOE Advanced Medical Assisting Clinical will train and equip students to be career and college ready. Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared for successful employment as a medical assistant in a back office setting or other related positions through the medical office internship that students complete. Students will, also at the same time, continue to aim for higher education towards premed, Physician Assistant, or any other medical career interest. Students will be exposed to both employment skills and critical thinking skills to develop the ability to adapt to the rapidly changing technological and social components of the workplace. Students will learn and sharpen skills on topics related to the patient intake process through the patients' check out, especially the clinical elements that are involved. On top of that, students are trained for hands-on operation of Electronic Health Record and prepare for the National Certified Medical Assistant (NCMA) Certification from The National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT). This is the Capstone course for the Patient Care Pathway.

The above course has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services
