The program prepares graduates for entry-level positions focused in any setting in which healthcare is delivered. While there is a greater emphasis on medical billing and coding, the general education and office and business components provide the graduate with greater career flexibility. Although graduates are prepared to work in a variety of healthcare settings including but not limited to clinics, insurance companies, hospitals, home health services, wellness centers, and doctors’ offices, employment opportunities may also exist outside of the medical field. Some career paths may require additional training and/or experience. The completion of this program could also be used as an opportunity to maintain existing employment or advance in a career.
