Medical Booking Clerk

Medical Booking Clerks (MBCs) perform booking functions for outpatient clinics, support medical imaging teams, organize patient appointments and locate / file appropriate documentation once the patient has been given a requisition by their doctor.  Through this program, students can prepare themselves for an entry-level position as a Medical Booking Clerk.  This program is a shorter micro-credential related to the Medical Office Administrator program which allows graduates of the MBC program can transfer their earned credits towards a Medical Office Administrator if they choose to upgrade their skills further.

The MBC program at Ridge Meadows College is a one or two semester (depending on scheduling), 7.5 credit program that consists of three courses.

Applications for the Fall semester are closed.

Upcoming Info Sessions:

Check back soon!

I have been out of school for quite some time and am a bit worried about attending as a mature student.

There is absolutely nothing to worry about as we have students of all ages, ranging from early 20’s to late 60’s, and welcome the diversity, experience and knowledge that all bring to our courses.  All our classes foster a warm, fun and inviting learning atmosphere.
