The personal satisfaction gained from working in the medical office profession cannot be measured by material benefits alone. With the growing need for adequate
medical care, qualified workers who know the business field and possess necessary medical-associated knowledge can find jobs in physicians' offices, clinics, hospitals,
long-term facilities, health agencies, insurance companies, and other non-traditional health care settings. The availability of these positions continues to increase as
patients draw on government aid and insurance programs to fund their health care and as health information becomes an increasingly vital element for the financing
and quality management of health care.
