Bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world medical assistant tasks, LEARNING LAB: MEDICAL ASSISTING is an online homework solution that gives students hands-on experience in a wide range of administrative and clinical skills. Each module starts with specific objectives that are mapped to ABHES and CAAHEP standards. Interactive activities and case scenarios build critical thinking skills and help retain the more difficult concepts, including technical skills such as banking and accounting procedures, medication administration, and laboratory procedures, as well as soft skills such as ethics and professional communication. Each module has a pre-assessment quiz, three to five learning activities, and a post-assessment quiz. Students can track their progress through immediate feedback for each activity, and the post-assessment scores can be posted to the instructor grade book in a learning management system. Medical assistants have a wide range of clinical and administrative responsibilities. LEARNING LAB: MEDICAL ASSISTING gives students a safe, realistic environment to practice the skills needed on the job.
