CAD
Drafting Technology | High - Tech Institute - Phoenix |
Drafting is the process of turning ideas of how things should be constructed into drawings. These drawings, which are based upon sketches and calculations made by engineers, surveyors, architects or scientists, provide visual guidelines such as dimensions, materials to be used, and procedures to be followed.
Before CAD (Computer Aided Drafting), drafters sat at drawing boards and used pencils, pens, compasses, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices to prepare a drawing manually. Now, most drafters use CAD to create drawings on a screen. This way, drafters can make revisions quickly and easily.
Although drafters use CAD extensively, it is only a tool. Persons who produce technical drawings using CAD still function as drafters, and need to possess the knowledge of traditional drafters.
CAD drawings can be used to build everything from manufactured products, such as toys, toasters, industrial machinery, or spacecraft, to structures, such as houses, office buildings, or oil and gas pipelines.
The CAD / Drafting Technology program offers
* The skills to perform manual drafting
* The opportunity to learn computer-aided (AutoCAD) drafting
* The knowledge to create drawings in 2-D and 3-D

Medical Assistant | High - Tech Institute - Phoenix |
Medical Assistants perform routine administrative and clinical tasks in the offices and clinics of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors and optometrists. In small practices, they are "generalists," who handle both administrative and clinical duties and report directly to an office manager, physician, or other health practitioner. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area under the supervision of department administrators.
Medical Assistants perform many administrative duties. They answer telephones, greet patients, update and file patient medical records, fill out insurance forms, handle correspondence, schedule appointments, arrange for hospital admission and laboratory services, and handle billing and bookkeeping.
Clinical duties vary according to state law, and may include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination, and assisting the physician during the examination. Medical Assistants collect and prepare laboratory specimens or perform basic laboratory tests on the premises, dispose of contaminated supplies, and sterilize medical instruments.
They may also instruct patients about medication and special diets, prepare and administer medications as directed by a physician, authorize drug refills as directed, telephone prescriptions to a pharmacy, draw blood, prepare patients for x-rays, take electrocardiograms, remove sutures, and change dressings.
Medical Assistants also may arrange examining room instruments and equipment, purchase and maintain supplies and equipment, and keep waiting and examining rooms neat and clean.

This involves knowing the different methods of billing insurance companies and patients, understanding various collection methods, and having a good working knowledge of medical terminology.
In order to be reimbursed for services, medical facilities must document all activities using correct medical terminology. This is referred to as ‘coding.' Codes exist for all types of services, tests, treatments and procedures provided in a medical office, clinic or hospital. The combination of these codes tells the health insurance companies which services were performed. This makes it easier to handle these claims.

In addition, experienced veterinary technicians may discuss a pet’s condition with its owners and train new clinic personnel.
Veterinary technologists and technicians assisting small-animal practitioners usually care for companion animals, such as cats and dogs, but can perform a variety of duties with mice, rats, sheep, pigs, cattle, monkeys, birds, fish, and frogs.
