MOA 102 - Basic Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology for the Medical Office Assistant
This course will prepare students with the basic knowledge on Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology. Students will be introduced to the functions, interrelation of organs, disease processes and the effects of medication on body systems. The course will also present information on different methods of drug administration, drug groups and drug interactions. The knowledge that they gain from this course will help them work efficiently and assist physicians on their day-to-day clinic operations. This will also help them understand and provide support to their vulnerable clients. This course will not equip the MOA to answer patient’s questions regarding their illness/medications but is to provide insight into why patients may be exhibiting certain symptoms at the time of the office visit. Indigenous ways of healing, alternative medications and over the counter medications will be integrated into each module.
