Goodwill's twenty week Medical Office Skills Training [M.O.S.T.] program will include ten weeks of intensive training geared to equip graduates with skills in medical billing, medical terminology and medical coding. This career track will follow eight weeks of basic career training and an introduction to computers, Microsoft Office 2007 and the Internet. Following the course work, students will complete a two week internship before graduation.

Courses will include Quick Books, Medical Manager, an overview of HIPPA rules and regulations, medical terminology, billing and coding. A high school diploma or GED is required for entry into this program.

A former student of the career center recently made a donation at one of Goodwill's drop-off sites. When she started she was very timid about working with computers and about going back to school in general. Following completion of her Medical Office Skills Training program she went on to Marshall University and will graduate next year with a degree in Medical Billing and Coding. In addition, she is certified in all of the Office 2007 products. It's obvious that she overcame her fear of both.
