What are the disadvantages of the Medical Practice Coordinator training?

After training as a medical practice coordinator, you will be able to advise and care for long-term patients (clinical direction) or manage staff in a medical or veterinary practice (practice management direction), depending on your specialization. In addition, there is a vocational trainer course and an X-ray authorization for the MPK clinical direction. In both directions, the relevant basic knowledge of chronic care management and quality management in medical practices is taught.

The main disadvantages of the Medical Practice Coordinator training are:

  1. Only persons who have been trained and worked in a medical assistant profession are admitted to the Medical Practice Coordinator course with Federal Diploma of Higher Education.
  2. In the "Clinical Direction" specialization, you will specialize in the care of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatism, respiratory diseases or heart disease. However, if you are specifically interested in long-term illnesses such as asthma and other lung and respiratory diseases, you will be better off on the Consultant for Respiratory Diseases course.
  3. The part-time Medical Practice Coordinator course requires a great deal of commitment and time. Due to the maximum duration of 5 years and the less compact course, the double burden can last for a longer period of time.
  4. The Federal PET Diploma is not recognized abroad, which is why official proof of professional qualification must be obtained from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI when working abroad.
  5. The examination pressure at the annual federal final examinations is high, but during the medical practice coordinator training you are specifically prepared for this. For people who suffer from exam anxiety, this can be a disadvantage despite the routine they learn. However, the case study, for example, can be prepared in advance and is presented and discussed in the exam.

 

Graduates can use the compulsory elective modules to develop a professional profile that matches their skills and interests. They are employed as Medical Practice Coordinators with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education in a medical practice, where they take on management and specialist tasks.
