If you enjoy office work, problem solving, customer service, sales, or financial management, you’re a great candidate for a health care career! Administrative professionals and Billing & Coding Specialists work closely with doctors and health care providers to make a difference in people’s lives. MTTI’s accredited program provides graduates with the specific skills and capabilities needed to succeed in entry-level medical office support or billing and coding positions. Employment isn’t guaranteed, but our Career Services team will work closely with you in your search for internship and employment.
Medical administrative assistants work in doctors’, chiropractors’ and physical therapy offices, and in community health care centers, nursing homes, hospitals, and medical billing companies. People who enjoy contact with the public often like working at the front desk. Billers or coders traditionally work more with the computer, away from direct patient care.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics ONET, careers in the Medical Records Specialist and Medical Secretary fields are expected to grow much faster than average in Massachusetts from 2020-2030!
