Partnered healthcare programs

The Medical Assisting Certificate Program prepares students for employment and careers in health care industries, such as physician's offices, outpatient clinics, in-patient administration, government, and health insurance industries. The curriculum is designed to provide didactic, laboratory, and externship learning experiences where students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform medical billing and coding, patient scheduling, data entry into the electronic medical record, electrocardiogram and cardiology diagnostic testing, phlebotomy procedures, basic laboratory tests, and maintain overall daily operations in a clinical setting. Medical assistants are the only multi-skilled allied health professional trained to work in ambulatory settings.

Our primary goal is to prepare competent entry-level medical assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains (MAERB, 2019).

The Associate degree in Respiratory Therapy program prepares students to care for patients with acute and chronic respiratory disease, assist in the treatment of trauma patients, and provide life support to critically ill newborn, pediatric and adult patients.
