该课程旨在为学生准备医学编码员的入门课程。医学编码员是专业的专业人员，他们利用分类系统来帮助确定正确的诊断和程序代码，并利用计算机软件来分配数百个与诊断相关的组，¢或DRG中的一个。如果患者使用DRG系统进行了Medicare或其他保险计划的承保，则DRG确定将为医院报销的金额。除DRG系统外，编码人员还使用其他编码分类系统，例如那些针对动态设置或长期护理的系统。编码人员提取的数据还用于分析和制定高质量的医疗保健计划和国家卫生政策。美国劳工部预测，从现在到2022年，医疗编码人员的工作机会应增加22％。大
The Radiation Therapy (RTT) clinical concentration was developed to educate and prepare students to meet the daily challenges of a Radiation Therapist in the dynamic field of Radiation Oncology and meet the growing demand for radiation therapists nationwide. Radiation Therapists are key members of the radiation oncology team. They provide direct patient care to patients undergoing radiation treatment for cancerous and some non-cancerous conditions. After completion of the courses in this clinical concentration, students continue on to the RTT clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program. The 12-months of clinical rotations in the RTT clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program are conducted at the Mount Sinai Health System. Through this industry academic partnership, students will hone the skills that are required to serve our patients in the community while maintaining ethical standards and professionalism in and out of the clinic. They will become an integral part of the health care team in the battle against cancer and leaders in providing the highest level of patient care. The Mount Sinai Center for Radiation Sciences Education at Stony Brook University is a partnership between Mount Sinai Health System's Department of Radiation Oncology and the School of Health Professions.
