Hi there,
An entry-level position in medical administration while attending technical college typically involves working as a medical receptionist, administrative assistant, or front desk coordinator in a healthcare setting like a doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital. An average workday usually starts around 8:00 AM with preparing the workspace, turning on computers, and checking emails or voicemails for any urgent patient inquiries or schedule changes. Throughout the day, you’ll be responsible for greeting patients, checking them in, verifying insurance information, and updating medical records in the system. Answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, and managing patient files are also a big part of the job. You might assist with billing tasks, such as processing co-pays and organizing paperwork for insurance claims. Communication is key, as you’ll often relay messages between patients and healthcare providers. The day usually wraps up by ensuring all records are updated, appointments are confirmed for the next day, and the front desk area is clean and organized. Balancing work and studies can be challenging, but gaining hands-on experience in medical administration while completing your technical college coursework can be invaluable for building a career in healthcare administration.
