Doctors of BC has partnered with the University of the Fraser Valley to teach medical office assistants (MOAs) how to protect patient information in their clinics.
The course is offered to a small group of MOAs and will take place virtually between January 28 and April 8, 2025. At the end of the course, there will be a capstone project that will allow the participants to put what they have learned in practice in their clinics.
Doctors Technology Office is covering the cost for MOAs to attend this course. If you or your MOA is interested in participating, please fill out the application form.
What will you learn in this course:
- What is patient privacy
- Network Security and Software
- Hardware Maintenance
- Incident response
- What is Quality Improvement?
How does this course help you and your clinic?
This course will provide your MOA with the knowledge and tips and tricks of how to protect your patient’s information. This course also provides guidance on identifying an improvement area in the MOA’s clinic. This would be done by MOAs creating a capstone and ideally facilitate this quality improvement in practice.
