Download Clinical Medical Assisting Online to Accompany Bonewit: Clinical Procedures for Medical Assistants (User Guide and Access Code) Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
State-of-the art courseware technology allows users to benefit from a complete, "ready-to-use" distance learning course or interactive classroom supplement on clinical medical assisting. Clinical Medical Assisting Online combines content, application, assessment, and communication tools into one unique learning tool. The online component guides students through the application of content in a "virtual externship," directing them to read from the text, interact with a cast of doctors, patients, and medical assistants, and apply key clinical concepts and skills in a realistic medical office. Students will also be exposed to different patient scenarios to take vital signs, administer medications, perform a venipuncture, and more. This media-rich, contextual environment allows students to apply the content and practice the skills and competencies they must demonstrate and master to excel in the real world. Contains coverage of all clinical competencies included in curricula of both the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Virtual mentor, with content written in the first person, acts as an externship supervisor addressing the student. Periodic questions throughout allow students to check their comprehension and learn from feedback, keeping them actively engaged with the material. Using interactivity and feedback throughout, the student learns "just-in-time" about various clinical procedures; i.e., at the point in time when they actually need to know - the way many adults prefer to learn. Competency-based activities give the student an opportunity to apply skills in a "safe" virtual environment before demonstrating them before their instructor in a lab setting. An extensive glossary of definitions and audio pronunciations builds student confidence; where appropriate, each term is hotlinked within the online content. Course management system (that is, either Evolve, Blackboard, or WebCT learning systems) includes automatic scoring and gradebook for the instructor and real-time chat, calendar, e-mail, bulletin board, and more for the class as a whole.
