is realized by conducting training programs with the highest level
of professionalism, integrity and responsibility to each student's

Medical Administrative Assistant
Healthcare is a career that can be both rewarding and challenging.
The environment is dynamic. You'll come into contact with so many
people, with each day providing new chances to learn additional
skills and grow professionally. But most importantly, you'll have
the opportunity to play a role in helping people- something very
few other careers offer.
Being a Medical Administrative Assistant requires a unique set
of skills. You'll need to be able to understand medical terminology
so you can communicate with physicians, nurses and patients. You'll
need to be comfortable working with current technology, including
computers and you'll need a firm grasp of all of healthcare's financial
nuances, such as insurance.
Healthcare is a steadily growing field, and you'll enjoy greater
job security knowing that your talents will always be in demand.
You'll also feel the pride that comes with knowing that you're supporting
a team that makes a difference in peoples' lives, something many
in the healthcare field will tell you is invaluable.
Training from The Cittone Institute is just what the doctor ordered.
At Cittone, our experienced instructors can help you build and develop
the skills you'll need to begin working in a medical office. We've
created a training program designed to not only teach you skills,
but also to help give you an idea of what to expect on the job.
Here are just some of the skills that come with a diploma from
The Cittone Institute:
We begin with the basics - communication. You'll learn to compose
and respond to different types of communication, including memos,
business letters, and phone calls. We'll also help you refine skills
such as grammar, punctuation and keyboard management.
Computer instruction, including use of the Internet and two of the
most commonly used software programs-Microsoft Word and Microsoft
Excel.
A basic, working knowledge of terms used in anatomy, physiology,
and mental-health, including medical terminology and common diseases.
The ability to perform more advanced support functions, such as
patient communication, recording patient histories, maintaining
charts, admitting patients, and scheduling appointments.
A basic understanding of the financial aspects of healthcare, including
processing patient and billing forms and standard coding systems.
Medical Assistant
Healthcare is an exciting, dynamic field, filled with opportunity
for motivated people, but being a physician isn't for everyone.
As a medical assistant, you'll have your finger on the pulse of
the medical field. You'll interact directly with both patients and
caregivers, you'll help operate and maintain complex diagnostic
equipment, and you'll have ample opportunity for growth and advancement.
All it takes is the right training and dedication.
A career as a medical assistant comes not only with great rewards,
but also with great responsibility. Even though you won't be making
diagnoses or prescribing medication, you are the physicians' first
line of intelligence and information gathering when it comes to
patients. Doctors will be looking to you, as the first person in
many cases to interact with a patient, for a carefully thought out
assessment that will allow them to make the best possible use of
their time.
You'll need to become familiar with a wide range of medical terminology
and medical instruments to be successful. You'll also need an ability
to work with rapidly changing technology, and you must be willing
to continually update your knowledge base to keep pace. Medical
assistants must be familiar with many of the administrative tasks
that go into running a medical practice or clinic such as, sharp
clerical and basic financial skills, as well as highly developed
people skills because you'll be constantly interacting with insurance
companies, physicians, nurses, outside labs, and of course, patients.
Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacists rely on Pharmacy Technicians to help them safely dispense
medications and other healthcare products that cure illnesses, ease
pain and save lives.
Cittone’s Pharmacy Technician program combines classroom instruction
with practical labwork and a clinical externship that gives you
real-life training to become a qualified and competitive job prospect.
Coursework includes areas ranging from understanding and carrying
out prescription requests to mixing or preparing medications, monitoring

Upon completion of the program, you will be prepared to assist
pharmacists in a variety of retail or hospital settings – and to
capitalize on this growing field.
