A medical assistant provides valuable patient care both in practice and in information to the patient as well as the patient's family member. If you want to become an integral part of the healthcare system, Health Professionals Institute in Washington can help. With our online medical assistant certification, you can gain your certification in WA and all over the country. We make sure that our courses are thorough to provide you with the best training possible. During our nine-month course, you will start with online theory. This takes you through the textbook, quizzes, and tests. Next, you will move on to the lab work, which must be done in person, with small class sizes to maintain social distancing. Once the lab hours are complete, you move to your clinical portion of the class, which is a hands-on experience in a clinical setting. You will have the opportunity to work in doctor’s offices, clinics, and urgent care to finish off your education.
