MAST212 — Medical Assisting Externship I
The course coordinates with local medical office sites to provide students with hands-on clinical and administrative experience in a medical office setting. The student will attend one hundred uncompensated hours at the assigned site. Clinical and administrative competencies will be evaluated by an assigned preceptor and under the direction of the Medical Assistant Externship Coordinator (MAEC). The student is required to be in contact with the MAEC one month prior to registering for this course. Early registration is essential to allow time for the MAEC to make schedule arrangements with assigned site, and students to complete site placement requirements (obtain required documentation/verifications, equipment, etc.).
