Hello All!

I certainly enjoyed meeting and getting to know you this week.  I can honestly say that I have never been so excited to teach medical assisting.  Having a room full of bright 2nd year students is very motivating for me and I am really looking forward to being your teacher.

OK…enough of that.  Here’s the important information:

1.  There is an open house on Wednesday, September 14 from 6 to 7:30 pm.  We will need students here (THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BE “ACTIVE”) to show parents around, give tours etc…  If you are willing to help us out, please email me.  Thank you in advanced.
2. You need an enrollment key to get into my iLearn class.  The enrollment key is flower.
3. Once you are enrolled in my Craig Clinical Medical Assisting class, you can scroll down to the section that is called Career Exploration.  The first item there is the medical assistant interview rubric.  (I have attached it here, as well, for your convenience).  Remember to ask the mandatory question:  DOES YOUR FACILITY ACCEPT EXTERNSHIPS? and report this in your paragraph. Right underneath the rubric is the area where you are to upload your paragraph.  REMEMBER:  the interview is of a MEDICAL ASSISTANT not any other health occupation.    This assignment is due on Friday, September 16th.  Don’t wait till the last minute.  It may take some time to get hold of a busy MA.  medical_assistant_interview_rubric
4. For those of you that want to get started with memorizing your abbreviations – look in iLearn under Chapter One – The Medical Record.  I put the folder as the first item for you to find.  Please just concentrate on the first abbreviation document there.  Remember, that test will be on Monday, September 19th.  
5. Last but not least, I’d like to wish everyone of you that celebrates  – HAPPY EID!  And for those of you who don’t – Enjoy your day off.  I know I will!
