Medical Assistant - Medical
Assistant Distance Education
by Mark Stout
Considerations in Distance Education for the Medical Assistant
Instructor
Medical Assistant distance education is emerging to meet the demands of a new
generation of students in the twenty first century. St. Augustine Medical
Assistant School distance education program for medical assistant presents a
good model for this integration of technology with medical assistant education.
Distance education, particularly in its most recent form, online education, is
being integrated into even the most cautious and conservative of educational
institutions. Yet the impact of these alternative forms of teaching and learning
on students, faculty, and institutions has yet to be broadly or deeply studied.
New models such as that at St. Augustine Medical Assistant School are immerging.
St. Augustine Medical Assistant School is available at: www.medassistant.org
Distance education is not new, and can be traced as far back as the first
century. The Apostle Paul wrote to the early Christian churches, instructing
them from a distance (even when he was under 'house arrest' in Rome). This was
probably the first type of 'correspondence course', which was the only method of
learning at a distance until the advent of the telephone. Today, distance
education and in particular online medical assistant instruction calls upon an
impressive range of technologies to enable medical assistant instructor and the
medical assistant student who are separated by distance to communicate with each
other either in real time (synchronous) or delayed time (asynchronous).
Currently and asynchronous model used at St. Augustine Medical Assistant School
to instruct medical assistant students. This has proven to be a very effective
model however the medical assistant program is currently investigating the
benefits of synchronous online medical assistant instruction and the benefits it
may have for the medical assistant student. Medical Assistant distance learning
epitomizes the move away from institute based learning to a more direct, student
centered approach. As a concept, distance learning has existed for over a
century, notably in the form of paper based correspondence courses including the
less formal correspondence education for medical assistants. Now however,
distance education is depending increasingly upon technology for its success and
technological innovations ensure that distance learning for the medical
assistant continues to evolve and grow as a valid and potent force in all forms
of education for the medical assistant.
The task of the medical assistant distance educator is therefore to obviate
these problems as much as possible by mixing and matching techniques, creating
and maintaining a stimulating environment, and offering opportunities for
medical assistant students to communicate with each other and with the medical
assistant teaching staff on a regular basis. The medical assistant educators
will also need to change their traditional role as well. Many remote medical
assistant students need a great deal of social support, and medical assistant
distance educators may find themselves spending more time offering one-to-one
tutorials and less time lecturing. St. Augustine Medical Assistant School at
www.MedicalAssistant.us is leading today’s technology in medical assistant
education.
When designing medical assistant educational systems and materials for medical
assistant distance in delivery the medical assistant teacher must consider not
only learning outcomes, but also centered requirements and technical constraints
for the medical assistant. Also to be considered are the needs, characteristics,
and individual differences of both the students, the teachers and future medical
assistants.
Medical assistant distance education for the medical assistant then, should not
be viewed as a means of reducing costs, but as an opportunity to raise
standards. It is also about providing quality medical assistant learning
opportunities for those who, for one reason or another, have previously been
excluded from this basic human right.
Medical Assistant distance education will quickly become the norm and not the
exception for the twenty first century medical assistant. St. Augustine Medical
Assistant School distance education program for medical assistant presents a
good model for this integration of technology with medical assistant education.
