MedCerts provides affordable online training in Allied Healthcare and IT careers. Each program is based on 12 elements of eLearning, which is a custom teaching model MedCerts has refined over the years. Programs are entirely online and asynchronous, created by subject matter experts working with instructional design experts. Students run through numerous simulations and must demonstrate competency before they can move on to the next segment of the training.
MedCerts interactive, scenario-based training is so effective that there is an 88 percent pass rate on the end-of-course credential exams. Courses are taught by real working professionals, not actors, employing HD-quality video-based instruction, virtual simulations, games and animations, and experiential learning situations. Students have a dedicated Student Success Advisor available 24/7 for 1:1 support. Advisors also monitor each student’s progress to intervene when necessary to nudge a student back on track and to keep them motivated and engaged.
In October 2022, MedCerts released a new and improved HI1014: Intro to Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology course while also introducing a free Anatomy and Physiology app. This free app gives a 3D version of the human body’s internal structure through 50 different simulations. It is central to the human anatomy course because it explains the language of medicine, including abbreviations and pronunciation, and gives an overview of anatomy and physiology. A mobile app is especially helpful because of the detailed information students need to learn in anatomy. It is also highly interactive and because it is app-based, is available on-the-go. Students can open a module and practice anywhere which dramatically increases how many times they look at the information and how many simulations and activities they perform. Download the free iPad app here.
It is critical that students master anatomy and through the Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology course, students learn medical vocabulary that equips them to speak, write, and understand interactions in medical settings. They can see these systems within the body: integumentary, musculoskeletal, hematic, lymphatic and immune, and cardiovascular. Medical terminology they learn covers the respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and excretory systems, as well as sensory organs.

MedCerts provides affordable online training and a talent pipeline to Allied Healthcare and IT careers. Anyone looking for a learn-and-earn option including the military and their families, career changers or the under- and unemployed can take MedCerts training in 50+ career programs.

MedCerts also innovates by bridging the gap between job searchers, employers, higher education institutions and workforce agencies. There are two major innovations in the MedCerts partnership models. In the first, MedCerts partners with several institutions of higher education, so that students can work through their MedCerts skills-based training program, while also earning articulated credits toward a college degree. In the second model, MedCerts partners with workforce boards (or directly with employers) in a train-to-hire model where students are employed while they are training. Employers benefit by having student training on the specific skills they need to fill, and students benefit from rapid, relevant training and a guaranteed job upon completion. In some cases, students are actually employed at the partner company during their training as apprentices.
And as a final note about MedCerts effectiveness, MedCerts interactive, scenario-based training programs report an 88 percent pass rate on the end-of-course credential exams in many programs.
