Working in the medical sector is interesting, challenging, and rewarding — you’ll need to be super-efficient with top office skills, but also possess discretion, patience, and empathy. The Medical Admin Diploma will teach you all the vital skills you need to be the welcoming and efficient face of a medical practice or department.
With this diploma, you’ll learn medical terminology covering general medical practice and a range of specialisms, and you’ll combine this with essential office admin skills, including key Microsoft Office applications. You’ll also have the option to choose two elective courses from a range of additional subjects, including successful meetings and minutes and health and safety essentials.
The Medical Admin Diploma offers you the best of both worlds — all the skills you need to work in an office environment as a professional receptionist, plus specialist knowledge designed to help you thrive as a Medical Administrator. This means you can be confident in applying for a rewarding role as a Medical Administrator. What’s more, you’ll have demonstrated to potential employers your dedication and determination to succeed in this crucial role.
A Pitman Training diploma is one of the most prestigious training programmes you can complete from one of the most highly regarded training organisations in the world. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to gain a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification (Level 5/6 in Scotland).
