College Diploma - Office Administration - Health Services (POAHS)

The Office Administration - Health Services two-year program focuses on technical and professional skills required to work in a variety of Health Service settings. Students will learn to use specialized medical software, OHIP billing, electronic calendaring and scheduling, and communication software applications. When students have successfully completed the first three terms and have met a prescribed GPA, they have the option of choosing either a Medical Simulation course or Field Placement (two days per week). Both options prepare them for entry-level administrative support positions in a medical office or setting. This is an excellent opportunity to gain work experience and evaluate different career paths. Sheridan College’s advanced mobile computing teaching environment gives students 24/7 access to the course materials and software applications used in class. Students can perform class activities, complete assignments, and e-communicate with their professors and classmates by using their personal laptop and computer. Mobile computing also gives students the freedom and flexibility that lead to greater learning.
