As an educational consultant, I will show you here on the basis of the5 Facts,why completing the Medical Practice Coordinator training (or Medical Practice Coordinator - both MPK for short) is worthwhile for you. The professional examination is regarded asA way out of the professional dead end,because the EFZ takes you to the final level of higher vocational education and training. In addition to theSpecialization options across two disciplinesandmodular structureof the OdA occupational profile there is ahigh demand for professionals with this specialist title.This leads to good career opportunities for working as a medical practice coordinator as well asbetter pay opportunities.The exam is particularly worthwhile for medical practice assistants because of the interesting opportunities for further development as a medical practice coordinator.
The basic vocational training "Medical Practice Assistant (MPA) with Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ)" is a popular and frequently chosen route into the healthcare sector. The three-year apprenticeship is one of the ten most popular apprenticeships. In the past, the main way to develop professionally afterwards was to study at a higher technical college. With the MPK professional examination (BP), the possibility was created for an initial specialization with a technical specialization after the EFZ. The federal examination for medical practice coordinators enables entry into a middle management position and the knowledge gained is very much geared towards the needs of the job market. With the federal certificate, you also have a higher vocational training qualification and, in addition to good career opportunities, you also have the opportunity to continue your education with a higher specialist examination to become a certified hospital expert or certified health insurance expert.
Do you focus in particular on patient care and see a challenge in supporting people with chronic illnesses? Then the Medical Practice Coordinator Clinical Direction course is the right choice for you. You will learn how to assess the current situation of those affected, plan evidence-based procedures, promote self-help skills and support the care skills of relatives. However, if you are more interested in managing a medical practice, you should complete the MPK practice management course. There you will learn to combine your clinical-medical experience with business management skills. In addition to income management, practice marketing and quality assurance, you will also learn how to manage staff independently. As a medical practice coordinator, you will thus acquire all the important skills for good practice management and patient care.
These are thefive most important advantagesof the Medical Practice Coordinator course with a federal certificate:
Among other things, successful completion of the prescribed module examinations must be demonstrated for admission to the professional examination - these vary depending on the chosen specialization. In both specializations "Medical Practice Coordinator Clinical Direction or MPK Practice Management Direction", compulsory modules and compulsory elective modules must be completed. The modular system for the entire course comprises 15 modules. Professional experience and the vocational trainer certificate are also required for the professional examination. The training content for the Medical Practice Coordinator course includes Chronic care management and quality management in the medical practice. In the clinical track, this is supplemented by advice for long-term patients (diabetes) and in the practice management track, practice management and personnel management.
Even as an MPA, you can expect a good salary above the salary recommendations of the cantonal medical associations - this is because there are more vacancies than job seekers. The salary prospects as a medical practice coordinator are also good, as capable professionals in group practices for team management functions are in demand. The tariff practice also increases the need for expert patient care and generates more turnover for medical practices. Management positions also pay off in terms of salary. As both the improved organizational flow of the practice and the tariff increase in consultation services for chronically ill patients increase the success of the practice, the two MPK functions will also be able to achieve better salaries. Training to become a medical practice coordinator therefore pays off in any case.
