Lincoln Technical Institute

Formerly Career Education Institute (CEI)

Career Education Institute (CEI) is now LINCOLN! The Marietta GA, Norcross GA and Henderson NV locations, formerly Career Education Institute (CEI) schools, became official campuses of Lincoln College of Technology in July 2006, and the Somerville MA, Lowell, MA, Brockton MA and Lincoln RI locations, formerly Career Education Institute (CEI) schools, became official campuses of Lincoln Technical Institute in September 2006.

Still the same great schools, we offer day and evening classes designed around the working adult, giving students the flexibility to maintain their current work schedule and still have the time necessary for school. With programs designed for everyone from the unemployed to the under-employed, our goal is to train individuals to a level of proficiency that leads to a rewarding career.

Somerville Campus

Located just outside Boston, Massachusetts, considered by some to be the medical "heart" of the country, the Somerville campus is easy to get to by car or public transportation and offers free parking. Our facility offers two floors of training space, which gives us the opportunity to offer a wide range of programs frequently, while at the same time keeping our classes small so our students receive the personal attention that they deserve.

Medical Administration / Coding & Billing

Supporting the administrative needs of hospitals or doctors' offices requires skills that go above and beyond the typical office setting. Hospitals, doctor's offices and various other medical facilities are also always looking for qualified individuals to take on the responsibilities associated with keeping track of their billing process.

So, if you enjoy working with people and want a career that is financially rewarding and personally fulfilling or if you enjoy working with numbers and dream of being part of a medical environment, then one of our diploma or associate's degree medical administration or coding and billing programs could be right for you.

As a medical administrative assistant, you'll also learn essential support activities such as:

• Admitting patients
• Maintaining charts
• Scheduling appointments

With medical coding and billing training, you'll focus specifically on the financial and insurance related aspects of the medical office while learning the medical codes necessary to process medical insurance or simply to translate a doctors' diagnosis. Whether you are just starting your career or need a change of pace, training in medical administration or coding and billing could be just what the doctor ordered.

Medical Assisting

Health care is an exciting and growing field with a need for caring and patient individuals. With our diploma and associate's degree in medical assisting programs, you can develop the perfect combination of knowledge, hands-on skills and patient care. By developing patient relationships and lending your expertise, you can not only help doctors and caregivers, you can help lift a patient's spirits.

You can get you started in this highly respected career by building the necessary communication and professional skills that are essential to the medical field. By preparing you to interact directly with patients and caregivers, you'll then be able to learn the skills necessary to:

• Provide administrative assistance
• Conduct laboratory work
• Administer clinical care

Because certain skills are better learned by doing, our medical assistant program provides a true sense of working in the medical field. In our Doctor's Office Classroom (DOC), you will have the opportunity to work in a simulated real-life environment. In this setting, students will be able to assume the roles of office personnel and patients while performing tests and practicing the skills that will be needed on the job.

From taking medical histories to operating medical equipment and collecting and preparing lab specimens, you can receive invaluable practical training and experience prior to your employment in the health care field.
