HPR 1040 - Comprehensive Medical Terminology

If you’re working toward a Medical Clinical Assistant or Medical Front Office Certificate, you may be able to skip the Comprehensive Medical Terminology course by taking the HPR 1040 proficiency challenge exam. This option is ideal if you already have a strong understanding of medical terminology and want to test out of the course.
