Associate of Arts with a concentration in Health Care Administration/Medical Records
University of Phoenix offers an Associate of Arts degree with a range of concentrations in business, criminal justice, education, health and human services, information technology, and more. The curriculum provides a foundation and overview within the academic disciplines of communication arts, social sciences, mathematics, life sciences, and the humanities. Instruction focuses on the development of student skills in writing, critical thinking, and information utilization, as well as foundational competencies in the selected concentration.
The Associate of Arts with a concentration in Health Care Administration/Medical Records offers students a basic overview of medical records management practices. It also lays a foundation for further study in health care at the bachelor’s degree level. The concentration courses focus on medical terminology related to disease diagnosis and treatment, patient information management, and medical claims processing. In one course, software-based instruction simulates a variety of records management processes commonly found in medical facilities. This concentration provides foundation skills in medical record keeping. However, it does not lead to certification in medical coding practice or any other related practice.
Nine weeks in length, courses are offered in pairs, or "blocks," designed to complement each other. In these courses, emphasis alternates weekly between reading and online discussion one week and a work project the next.
The completion of an Associate of Arts degree represents an important milestone for many students as they pursue their educational goals.
