If you can hold your own with medical words, healthcare admin opens up. This course is built for that: anatomy terms, procedures, drug names, and the systems of the body one at a time.
Records, coding and practice admin all run on the words. Ten topics take you through the body system by system, plus procedures and drug names.
Already on a front desk or in a practice? This closes the gap between hearing a term and knowing what it means.
Around sixty hours, self paced, with no exams. A small commitment for something you use every day afterwards.
Every clinic, hospital and practice runs on records, and records run on the right words. The work is easy to picture: files coded correctly, notes typed up clean, and a patient list that reads the same way to everyone who opens it.
Filing, retrieving and keeping patient records straight. The terminology is the whole job.
Turning notes into codes. Anatomy terms and procedure names are what you work from.
Sitting between patients and their records, where communicating with both sides matters.
Typing up what was said. Drug names and procedure terms have to land right the first time.
Running the record side of a practice day to day, from filing to follow up.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Ten topics, from the basics of the language to every system of the body.
Here is what stands out in this course.
Musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and lymphatic, respiratory and reproductive, digestive and excretory, nervous and sensory, and the skin.
Pharmacological terminology is one of the ten topics. It is the part that trips people up on a first day.
You cover medical equipment and procedures as well as the anatomy, so the names on a chart and the things in the room both make sense.
The course covers communicating with doctors and patients, not only reading the words on a page.

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification.
