Electronic Medical Office

Course description

Students learn an electronic medical records (EMR) system to handle patients’ charts, to create and file documents, to manipulate an appointment calendar, and create letters. They also learn preventative care, government reporting, privacy and confidentiality in the medical environment, and communication using a clinical management system. Students delve into multicultural topics as they relate to Canada’s multicultural environment and the Canadian medical health care system. This includes the responsibilities and obligations of a health office professional surrounding patient care, confidentiality of information, and EMR protocol.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
