Yes, provided they meet the prescribed eligibility criteria. The curriculum progressively introduces learners to the healthcare system, human anatomy, medical records, medical terminology, digital systems and record-management practices.

The current Medical Records Assistant curriculum specifies a total duration of 900 hours, including theory, practical training and on-the-job training.

The curriculum covers Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS), Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Electronic Health Records (EHR), medical-record management software, databases and digital documentation processes.

The training can prepare learners for roles related to medical records management, health information management, hospital documentation, medical coding, record-room operations, healthcare data and database support, depending on the employer and job requirements.

Yes. Their skills are relevant to organisations that maintain patient, diagnostic and healthcare records, including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic facilities and healthcare information departments, subject to specific employer requirements.

Medical records management is increasingly important as healthcare organisations adopt digital healthcare, electronic health records, healthcare information systems and data-driven processes. The curriculum itself places significant emphasis on digital records, databases, coding, statistics and information security.

There is no fixed salary applicable to all Medical Records Assistants. Compensation depends on qualification, experience, location, organisation, job responsibilities and technical skills. The attached curriculum does not prescribe a salary figure.

Yes. The 900-hour programme includes a substantial practical and on-the-job training component. The curriculum follows a learning-by-doing approach and includes practical activities involving records, software, databases and medical record-room operations.

It can be a strong option for learners interested in healthcare administration, digital healthcare, data management and documentation rather than direct clinical patient care. It is particularly suitable for people who enjoy organised, technology-enabled work.

The certification arrangement depends on the specific programme and assessment process. Candidates should confirm the applicable certification details with PSA before enrolment.

The programme combines healthcare knowledge with digital and data-management skills, covering HIMS, EMR/EHR, medical coding, databases, statistics, confidentiality and practical record management. It is designed to build job-ready skills for the growing digital healthcare environment.
