Our design transformed existing space from another program to better suit the needs of this specialized training. The renovation included durable classroom finishes, a new diagnostic and training rooms with authentic examination tables. Students are now taught to assist with examinations, treatments, and perform routine laboratory procedures in a space that mimics a professional medical environment. Other specialized training spaces include electro-cardiography, and supervised medication administration. Our design also included an office area with a fully functional ADA compliant reception desk for medical office administrative training including scheduling appointments, coding and processing insurance accounts, billing, collections, and computer operations.
