The Medical Office Assistant and Unit Clerk certificate is offered by SAIT's School of Health and Public Safety in two formats: an in-person option at Main Campus lasting 21 weeks, and a blended option combining Main Campus and online instruction over 36 weeks. The curriculum covers medical terminology, medical office operations, patient records management, healthcare software, billing processes, and the legal aspects of health information. Graduates are prepared for roles as medical office assistants, secretaries, and unit clerks in hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centres. The program does not currently accept international applicants and is classified under CIP code 51.0706, which is under review for reclassification. The two delivery formats give students a choice between a shorter in-person schedule and a longer blended schedule combining online and on-campus study.
