We are not limited to the topics listed above. Medical Reception College Ltd places emphasis on the importance of practical medical office assistant training in addition to theory in the classroom. There is a significant amount of role-playing to prepare the student for any unexpected situations that can arise when working in field. The last few weeks of the program, the students work in doctor’s offices on a volunteer basis to further enhance the skills they have learned in the program.

1. Elaboration on real-life situations and scenarios occurring in a wide variety of health care settings and occupations, based on first hand experience of the instructors.

2. Discussions of new knowledge acquired from various seminars attended by the instructors.

3. Discussions of information obtained during conferences. For example, many of the inside details and information regarding the doctor’s office, and the employer’s expectations for their employees is received during these conferences throughout dinner conversations with various doctors and health professionals. This opportunity to speak one-on-one with these health professionals allows our instructors to share details with our students to give them a realistic description for what is required of them, and what their employers are looking for in hiring a new receptionist.
