Pharmacy Technology
Do you consider yourself organized? Do you like working with people? If so, pharmacy technology may be for you. Pharmacy technicians help pharmacists deliver medications to patients. They process medical and insurance information, help pharmacists in preparing medications, and often are the friendly face you see in the pharmacy window. Carrington’s Pharmacy Technology program in Portland can be completed in as few as nine months and helps you prepare for the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) national certification exam.
Carrington College prepares students to take appropriate certification and licensure exams related to their individual majors. The College does not guarantee students will successfully pass these exams or be certified or licensed as a result of completing the program.
Medical Billing and Coding
Medical bills can be confusing for patients, but they’re also a complex issue for physicians and medical offices. That’s where medical billers and coders come in. These behind-the-scenes medical workers help translate procedures and office visits into codes that can be sent to insurance carriers for processing and payment. Medical billers and coders also learn how to follow up until doctors are able to be paid for their advice and procedures. Carrington College’s Medical Billing and Coding program in Portland can be completed in as few as nine months.
Massage Therapy
Do you enjoy helping people feel better? Do you want to work with people of all ages and walks of life? Maybe you want to work by yourself or as an independent contractor. Massage therapy can be a great career if you want to help others through motion and touch. Carrington’s Massage Therapy program in Portland teaches you how to manipulate muscles and soft tissue to help clients with aches and pains as well as how to handle the business and ethical side of operating as a massage therapist.
Veterinary Programs
Veterinary Assisting
If you prefer furry friends to human ones, you may want to consider a career in veterinary assisting. Vet assistants help feed and bathe animals, keep veterinary offices clean and sanitized, and generally assist other veterinary professionals. A vet assistant may work with a wide variety of animals, depending on where they work. Carrington’s Veterinary Assisting program in Portland can be completed in as few as nine months.
