Medical Assisting Clinical ProceduresWVEIS 0733

Instructional content in the Medical Assisting Clinical Procedures coursewill focus on clinical procedures utilized within the medical offices. Major components will include emergency medical care, the physical exam, basic pharmacology, and administration of medication. Students will focus upon employability strategies and career development necessary for successful employment. Students will participate in a work-based clinical externship within a medical office or equivalent health care facility. Due to health care industry standards, exemplary attendance is mandatory. All content standards and objectives must be mastered before students are eligible to attain established credentials and/or industry validation. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in hands-on activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers will provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to the study of medical assisting. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives. Students are encouraged to become active members of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for health science education students.
