Clinical Abstraction
Gain Real-World Clinical Documentation Experience from Anywhere
Looking to enhance your U.S. healthcare exposure while building essential skills in clinical documentation? The Clinical Abstraction Program by MediTrack USA offers a unique opportunity to gain remote clinical experience by working with real medical records and developing your understanding of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), ICD-10 coding, and healthcare workflows — all under expert supervision.
Ideal for international medical graduates (IMGs), pre-med students, and professionals seeking non-clinical healthcare roles, this program is a stepping stone to U.S. residency, clinical jobs, or allied health certifications.
What Is Clinical Abstraction?
Clinical abstraction is the process of extracting key data from patient medical records, such as diagnoses, medications, lab results, and clinical summaries, and entering it into standardized formats or databases. It’s essential for:
- Clinical research
- Quality improvement projects
- Insurance and billing compliance
- Health information management
Who Should Enroll?
This program is ideal for international medical graduates (IMGs) seeking valuable U.S. healthcare experience, as well as pre-med, pre-PA, and pre-nursing students looking to strengthen their clinical knowledge. It also suits allied health professionals who are transitioning into data management or administrative roles, and professionals interested in gaining expertise with EMR systems and medical coding.
